Still no ability to copy multiple passages?
It seams we are on a release candidate now and there is still no ability to simply copy and paste multiple passages from a search result. I would have thought that this would be very basic. Most of us use this software not just to get the information, but then to take it out (either for our own notes or for presentation).
There are currently many ways to copy a verse (use information, copy bible verses tool, right click and select copy verse), but there is no way to copy and paste search results, and there are still major flaws in the copy and past of single verses in search results. For example:
In grid view of search results you can right click on a passage and copy a single verse - in "verse" or "aligned" views you cannot. I personally do not like using the grid view - so every time I want to copy a verse I either have to switch to grid view and re-find the passage I want to copy - or click on the reference, bring it up in a new tab, highlight, copy and paste (and repeat these steps 10 + times (depending on the study)
Logos 4 has great copy and paste features in other areas. I love how copy and paste works in the information tool. (being able to ctrl click and pick the articles you want and then copy and paste is excellent.) Could we please have the same ability to select multiple verses in search results and copy and paste them together?
I like the copy verses tool as well - It's an extra step, but I wouldn't mind if we just had the ability to bring the entire search results into that - or have a way to show the entire search results into the information tool.
Another feature that would be very helpful is to retain the highlighted words when pasting - I could do this in version three, but not in 4.
Although I like version 4 better for study (getting information) it takes me much longer and is more complicated for getting the information out to my notes or making handouts. I hope this is addressed at some point to make a great product even better.

I have started a case for this, not sure when it will be implemented.

Very good to know. If this was in place I would have no need to go into V3 (well except for the occasional graphical search).

Good to hear George...
