What about the 'ranked view'? See the post I happened to write yesterday at http://community.logos.com/forums/p/50025/369691.aspx#369691. Given that these two 'features' turned up at the same time, is it that far fetched to suspect they're connected?
It is pretty far-fetched. [:)]
While rank is new on Mac, it's been on Windows for a long time, and it has been added to increase Mac parity. (In fact, Mac already sorted by rank in Tile mode; this change just allows you to view the rank, and sort by it, in Details mode.) The implementation is exactly the same on the two platforms, hasn't changed recently, and is based purely on textual matching, not any sort of doctrinal filter.
The "Doctrinal Choice" setting code was deleted from the Logos 4 codebase last week (before any beta testers noticed it).

I had been hoping that no one would notice
Probably a futile wish. There are too many eyes in the Beta program. Someone will always tell.

It does not take much to prompt this. See, BillS has already searched for a "like" button [:D] We love a good discussion, even when we have no idea what we are talking about [H]

Tempting to laugh out loud from questionable interpretations [;)]
Personally a bit surprised by Program Setting addition considering Logos propensity to minimize Program Setting choices.
From a technical perspective, wonder about useful Logos 4 Program Setting addition(s) or change(s) ?
Personally wish Resource Panel Background could be extended to all of Logos 4 on Mac and PC with some high contrast color choices (e.g. white text on black background plus dark brown text on yellowish background). For high visibility reading, consider color combinations for road signs, especially warnings (hence my desire for a yellowish background that is easier to read for many hours). Also many forum smilies have black and yellow coloring, which is easy for human reading.
Keep Smiling [:)]

shouldn't "even" be "especially"?[:P]
And I'm close enough to consult with Logos employees on diversity and cultural sensitivity ... I'll just ask for free resources for life (for me and selected friends) in exchange.[H]

And how was I supposed to know that? I've been reading these forums pretty much daily for 20 months, and as far as my memory serves me, I've never heard of a Rank column on Windows, nor can I remember seeing it on the Feature parity list. And none of the other users in the other thread seemed to know it wasn't new either.
Bradley Grainger (Logos) said:it has been added to increase Mac parity
While I'm certainly glad you're working on that, I have to say I'd prefer that you concentrate on the things we complain about all the time, rather than things none of us seems to have missed, or even been aware of.

From release notes:
New Features- Program Settings
- Added application setting for “Include Deuterocanonical Books.” This setting does not currently affect any data. (See this thread.)
Okay, Logos - whose's Deuterocanonicals? Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Slavic Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican ... and what are the LXX-based (+ a bit) Jews of Ethiopia to do? And what about the Russian sect that limits its canon to Revelation?MJ. Smith said:I wonder if they are responding to the
complaints that certain texts are treated as canonical. I would love it
if we had a "Canon" setting.I think I win the prize assuming horseshoe rules apply - closest to the stake.

Bradley posted some more information regarding this setting in this thread: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/50177.aspx

tom collinge:My question is what Deuterocanonical Books are included? Different faith traditions within Christianity use different deuterocanonical books.
All of them.
As noted in the popup help for that setting, this only affects Bible Facts tools (e.g., Biblical People) when data (from deuterocanonical books) is available.
No such data is currently available, so this setting has no effect. However, we anticipate adding this data in a future update to those resources (I don't have an estimate on the timeframe); this would possibly coincide with a reverse interlinearisation of the NRSV Apocrypha (see http://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-4/suggestions/514417-create-a-reverse-interlinear-for-nrsv-deuterocanon).
If and when we have sufficient data from different traditions of deuterocanonical books (a big "if"), this setting may be made more fine-grained.

Doesn't this thread count as a mild slap? <smile>tom collinge said:Because it is so vague, people are going to write stories on what this setting is for. And Logos needs to have their hands slapped for putting something out that is so vague that no one can figure it out.
Honestly I also would like a clarification as to what this effects.
Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you. 0 -

In a way, yes. IMHO, Logos needs to do some training concerning the faiths of others. This type of programming (offensive language to the non-Roman Catholics and to the non-protestants people) should never of happened in the first place.TCBlack said:Doesn't this thread count as a mild slap? <smile>

I like the denomination option.
I hoping that by setting it to protestant,
1. I won't have to see the apocrypha listed as scripture in some resources.
2. I won't have to see any pictures of jesus or catholic shrines on the front pages of logos.

Catholic. Thanks for making Logos functional for Catholics. Much appreciated.
