How about it testing your requirements. For me it kept crashing at the "waitng for indexer" state Finally I realised I was running very low on hard disk space, so I freed some up hoping that would solve it. It hasnt. Basically I have a program that opens and then hangs repeatedly. Any ideas why?

OK so I am on snow leopard and today I tried it again. It lasted a bit longer before crashing...maybe 3 minutes this time. Saying "waiting for indexer" O boy, with a top notch macbook pro I really thought this would work. You guys have GOT to figure out a way for this indexing thing to be on the disk before launch. There is NO WAY that the ordinary punter would put up with the indexing nonsense!

Adrian,
Indexing has been very slow for me but it has completed on both computers I've tested. One is an iMac running Leopard, the other a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard. Now, once it's up and running it crashes easily, but I can report success on two different setups. I'd guess there's a resource issue similar to issues faced with the L4 for PC indexing early on, though I'd be surprised if the bug fixes worked out for that indexing process have not been applied to the Mac version.

I would like to report some success but ....
I get the "logging in screen" for about 3 seconds followed by about 0.5 second of waiting for indexer. L4 then unloads itself (or is unloaded by OS X).
After many attempts at this I tried to uninstall but could only remove the application package. Replacing the application package left me in the same place, except this time, at first run, I was not asked for a user name. i.e. L4 is storing data elsewhere on the computer (correctly so) but I cannot as yet find it.
This does bring me back to one of my other posts ... where are the application's data folders so that they can be excluded from time machine?

Rumors of my success have evidently been exaggerated.
I loaded and ran Logos 4 Mac initially and have been able to run it ever since... until trying to load it today. It is now crashing when I try to run it. I was going to take some screenshots to show I had it going but like Martin I'm currently crashing on the Logging In screen. Primary log attached.

Aaand now it is working. It is indexing again, however, something that seems to never stop.
Greek display also has an issue here on Snow Leopard.

I have found it them the files !
Main Drive > Users > [username] >Library > Application support
This folder contains a folder called Logos4
Deleting this and the application, and then reinstalling has got me going again.
I have also excluded this folder and the L4 application from Time Machine.
FWIW By the time I deleted the Application support folder it was already reporting a 5Gb size.

15 minutes later 'waiting for Indexer' but Activity monitor is showing 95%+ idle, no disk or network activity .... not bombing out but seemingly doing very little.
I have attached logs and my system profile (I presume the latter is both readable and useful)
TIme to wait for some patience to arrive!
BTW. Chris:
Chris Roberts said:It says downloading 3.1 GB but it's reporting 0% downloaded and I haven't seen it advance past 0% in the 45 min or so that it's been running.
How did you find the 3.1 Gb figure?

Martin,
Hover over the menu bar Logos icon, you should get a tooltip. Mine at one point said it was downloading 3.1gb. It eventually finished. Indexing has also finished but it frequently starts indexing again for no apparent reason.

Thanks Chris
I had seen the icon ... somehow I had managed to pause the indexing [:$] and posted before thinking ... for me patience is not so much a virtue but a miracle!
The indexer is now reporting 95% CPU in Activity monitor, which is also reporting L4 as a 32-bit application rather than the 64-bit of the other processes, not that that is an issue in this ageing macbook.
Time to walk away and leave L4 to do its thing without interference!

Did the washing up ... returned after 10 minutes - no L4 [:(]
Ran the app again, saw the message from OS X about this being a downloaded program are you sure?, saw logging on, waiting for indexer and then L4 bombed out.
Run it again, no caution about downloaded apps, logged on and then bombed out again, not even waiting for the indexer's message.

Till the FAQ is up, at a very minimum:
- Mac OS 10.5.8 or later
- Intel only (PowerPC is not supported)
- 1 GB RAM
- 8 GB hard drive space
Are these firm requirements expected for release or are you hoping to support PPC macs as well as development gets futher along?

The $30 Snow Leopard Upgrade Disk should upgrade 10.4 to 10.6. Apple just doesn't want you to know that....this is what I have heard anyway. Keep in mind that 10.6 only works on intel Macs.

Where do we send bug reports?
Downloaded, installed, logged in, waited for indexer, program closed.

All indexed and downloaded. Took a while. Lots of functionality for Mac version clearly still not there like system preferences, program settings etc. But seems to be working.
No update button...

It should detect and download updates automatically; you can also go to:

Ok, it did download a few gig last night when it was first running, so my guess is it pulled everything but I am short on time now and the search function does not work in the library mode so I cannot check if new resources were added properly.
Can we synch licences and get any of the new resources running under version 3 in the mean time? IE the Holman collection which is a prepub?

OK, I see it now - a little blue icon on the menu bar.
Is that all I should have at the moment?
It's just doing the indexing.

Chris,
my tardiness to upgrade was not a resistance of fate, but a result of finances... now the pressure to upgrade mounts.

The added features in Leopard are well worth the upgrade cost, but I can't speak for Snow Leopard.

when i loaded the alpha version, i accidentally put in my forum login, and not my username for my logos account. I am trying to change it but it won't let me. I tried to uninstall it and then reinstall it, but it doesn't let me re-enter the correct username. what can I do?

You'll need to remove a Logos4 specific folder and then restart the app.
Open Finder.
Click on your home folder on the left hand side under "Places"
Open the Library folder
Under Library, open the Application Support folder
Under the Application Support folder, find the Logos4 folder and drag it to the Trash.
Restart the app and it should ask you to log in again.
