Additional Layout Choices Needed
TO: Logos Product Improvement Team
On my laptop, with a 17" screen, I have LOGOS set up with the screen divided into 4 equal panels. For this size screen it allows me to keep a large number of books open, dividing the 4 panels basically: Bible versions; Commentaries; Word & Topical studies and dictionaries; Atlases, Harmonies, Photos, and Historical books.
However, with larger, HD-format, flat screen monitors now becoming very common and inexpensive. It would be a HUGE blessing if LOGOS would "modernize" the layout selection to make far better use of this additional viewing/working area. This would allow those of us who have the larger, more comprehensive editions of LOGOS to have additional windows available to keep many more "favorite-but-too-easily-forgotten" (out-of-sight, out-of-mind) books open at all times and linked up in various combinations.
SUGGESTED ADDITIONAL LAYOUT CHOICES:
6 equal panels (3 wide x 2 high)
7-8 panels (either 6 equal panels...3 wide x 2 high...with 1 narrower panel that runs the full with of the screen...or that narrower panel broken into 2, each 1/2 the width of the screen...much easier for reading without so much scrolling, BUT the narrower panels ABSOLUTELY should be on the BOTTOM of the screen-- to prevent neck strain-- for the sake of millions of users who wear bifocals)
9 equal panels (3 wide x 3 high)
10 equal panels (2 wide x 5 high...great for reading multiple versions
w/o having to bounce from tab to tab, or go to a comparative screen)
12 equal panels (4 wide x 3 high)
NOTE: Some of these formats would be really PERFECT on the not-so-uncommon 23-30 inch monitors.
Is it possible, or will it ever be possible, to have the ability in LOGOS for it to sync via Airport (any router) to Apple TV so Logos could be viewed and worked with on the bigger screen HDTV's? This would be awesome for husband & wife, multi-person, or small group in-home Bible studies! It would also be great to be able to sit in a more comfortable recliner (rather than a desk chair), using and interacting on the big screen.
PLEASE consider any or ALL of these possibilities ASAP!!!
Thank you!

John,
I don’t follow. We can already do this. The Layout panels that they offer are for reference and we can use them if we so desire, or we can set our own layouts and save them for future use….or maybe I am missing something…

John,
you do know that you can drag and rearrange the panels to give the desired layout? I must confess I rarely use the pre-built layout choices, but if I wanted a certain layout on my 24'' that Logos doesn't provide, I'd drag the boxes and save it as I want.
Have joy in the Lord!

You've got to be kidding. A 3" x 2" panel? That's an itsy-bitsy teeny weeny (non-)yellow display. I think I'd get claustrophobia with such a display.

I didn't say INCHES. I said PANELS...wide x high... in other words, 1/2 the screen High by 1/3 the screen Wide

Thanks to all who responded...but no, I did NOT know you could create as many and as varied a combination of panels as desired. I have been using the preformatted ones.
And what about the capability to port via Apple TV to the big flatscreen HDTV. Anyone know about this? If so, how? Can you then interact with it via a wireless mouse from the recliner?

You would mirror it as a second display...just treat the second display like you would a projector. It should work fine.

Thank you for your helpful, courteous, non-ridiculing response. It is much appreciated.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I think you can agree, however, that there is a limit to how small a panel could be and be practical.
I just looked at the "Layout" options. Whatever happened to the templates that used to be there?

I don't, but your suggestion cannot be the cause since I've never used interlinears (other than briefly keeping them to reference when others complained of problems).

Nothing. I don't even get a scroll bar to display anything below my named layouts. It really doesn't matter much since I think I've only used it once. Generally I arrange my panels then save it as a named layout.

Philana,
Thank you very much for the super advice with plenty of excellent resource references. You sure you don't work for Logos? :-) If not, you'd be great in the customer service field. That's the field I've worked in for the last 5 years.
I will spend some time over the next few days to read through the referenced materials. If I have any unanswered questions, I may be coming back to you for additional help. I did buy both of the Morris Proctor training manuals several months ago, but haven't had a lot of free time to go through them yet. I've owned Logos since Version 1.0. I've added hundreds of additional books to my Scholar edition over the years, and I'm just trying to set up the layout that would be most advantageous to keeping the maximum number of books open and available continuously. You know the old saying...out of sight, out of mind. Well, it definitely holds true with having so many great resources available. If I could have more panels with tabs for some of these other great resources, I'd probably use them more often.
Thanks again. You're the best!

This feature is not currently available, but will be coming this summer with the new version of OSX Mountain Lion. The feature is called AirPlay. HERE is a link to Apple's site about it.
As for interacting with it… that would depend upon your interface device and the proximity to your computer. Do you have an iMac, MacBook, MacPro, or MiniMac? The MacBook in clamshell mode might work well. Off the top of my head, I believe that bluetooth devices have a range of only about 30 feet.

I passed my MacBook on to my son recently. I love Macs but while I was waiting around for the Mac version of Logos to come out, I went ahead and bought an HP 17" Pavilion laptop w/HD screen so I could continue to use my Logos. Now that the Mac version is out, I am seriously considering buying the upcoming new release of the solid state AirBook in a 17" format, and use the AirPlay to view it from my Flatscreen TV at times...therefore the reason to set up alternate choice layouts to switch between the two sizes.
Since you sound as though you have a Mac...let me ask you a few questions. Version 4.0+ of Logos is supposed to be Dual Version capabilty on same DVD (which I bought). Do they mean by this that if I bought the PC version of Scholar Edition, that I can also set up the Scholar Edition on a Mac, when I buy the Mac, from the same DVD? In other words, is it included in the cost? Or do I have to pay a separate FEE to uses the Mac version on that DVD? Will all of my additional Logos resources work with the Mac? How do you like the Mac version (assuming you have that format...and assuming you've previously used a PC format so you have a point of reference to compare the 2)? Are there features or capabilities available on PC version not available on Mac version?
0 -
Another quick question...just soliciting your opinion: What is the point of Vyrso? OK, granted if you are looking for Christian fiction in digital format, it's a great vehicle. But anything besides fiction, why wouldn't you want it in a Logos format instead, which then gives you the added benefit of having it interlinked with every other book for Global Searches, making it an ongoing invaluable resource... not just an ebook read once or so and forgotten.

Hi John
I am not a Mac user but will attempt to answer some of your questions.

Logos policy is that you can run their software on as many machines (PC or Mac) as you like for your own personal use (i.e. you can't use your licence to equip everyone in a group). I don't know whether the software for both environments is present on the DVD but - unless you have bought it very recently - the software is probably not the most current version so it is probably best to download it from the Internet. Please see http://www.logos.com/support/mac/L4/install for details.
John D. Maher said:Will all of my additional Logos resources work with the Mac?
Yes, they should.
John D. Maher said:Are there features or capabilities available on PC version not available on Mac version?
Yes there are. A list of differences is maintained at http://wiki.logos.com/Mac_and_PC_User_Interface_Differences#Feature_Parity
Hope this helps.
And I am sure some Mac users will chime in with more insight soon.

Hi John
John D. Maher said:What is the point of Vyrso?
It is a mechanism for Logos to make electronic resources available more cheaply - as it doesn't involve all of the work necessary to format a Logos resource. So, for example, morphological tagging is not included.
John D. Maher said:But anything besides fiction, why wouldn't you want it in a Logos format instead, which then gives you the added benefit of having it interlinked with every other book for Global Searches, making it an ongoing invaluable resource... not just an ebook read once or so and forgotten.
All Vyrso books you purchase also appear in your Logos library and are so available for searches.
(The converse is true - Logos books are readable in the Vyrso reader)
Hope this helps

John - I think for a non Mac user, Graham answered your questions well. [:D] The short answer is that when you purchase Logos, you are purchasing the resources, not the software. So yes, you can install what you own on a Mac. You will probably be better off to not install from the CD-Rom though, since it is outdated. When you are ready, come back and we can help you through your choices. If you have any follow up questions, feel free to ask.
I did want to a quick thing about Vyrso. There are many books which would be very useful in Logos, but perhaps not at the added expense or delay that a "Logos edition" would take. Vyrso books are automated, and Logos can spit them out relatively quickly. Let me give you a quick example: I have been waiting for James Bryan Smiths Apprentice series to be available in Logos since they came out last year. I would much rather have them in Vyrso now (HERE) at a cost fairly close cost to Amazon, than to wait 12-24 months (or longer) for a "Logos Edition" for up to twice the cost (!) that really wouldn't add much to the resource in all honesty.
Logos has said that they do not intend to have 2 editions of a book, so it is unlikely that you would see a Vyrso and Logos edition of the same book (there are some exceptions - i.e. Francis Schaeffer). I have suggested that Logos look into doing a pre-pub deal on some books where a Vyrso edition would be made available while the Logos edition was being produced. Perhaps that will happen some day.

Wonder about opening a number of resources, then click one of the 6 Layout arrangements, then click in a Panel with more than 1 tab, return to Layout menu to click one of the other layout arrangements. Using Logos 4.5c Beta 1 on OS X 10.6.8 personally learned can open resources, then have a primary and secondary layout arrangement so can quickly rearrange tab sizing and positioning.
Option: can open 6 resources, then click (2 wide x 2 high), followed by dragging couple resources to achieve 6 equal panels (3 wide x 2 high). Caveat: takes a few seconds longer than one pre-defined arrangement click.

Yes, indeed. [:D]
You can have Logos on PCs, Macs, Tablets, iPads, etc. As long as it is your machine. It is licensed on as many as you have. Personally, I have Logos on all my machines and, in the past, on Mac and PC at the same time!

In 2009, Logos changed licensing so all Logos software is free along with a philosophy of pay once for resource licenses, then use on any device. Caveat: due to contractual relationships with a number of publishers, about 11 % of my licensed resources are only usable in Logos 4 on Mac and PC. Thankful for 89 % of my resource licenses that can be used in all Logos software.
John D. Maher said:Will all of my additional Logos resources work with the Mac?
Yes, the Logos resource files are identical for Mac and PC use. Wiki Quick Installation onto Multiple Macs has => Copy Logos 4 Resources to Mac OS X that includes copying resource files from PC to scan for use in Mac. Conversely, resource files on Mac could be copied to PC, then use scan command to update Logos 4 library.
John D. Maher said:How do you like the Mac version (assuming you have that format...and assuming you've previously used a PC format so you have a point of reference to compare the 2)? Are there features or capabilities available on PC version not available on Mac version?
Apologies: "previously" is not applicable to me since currently have Logos 4.5c Beta 2 installed on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and Windows 7, which is helpful for feature parity comparisons, wiki Mac and PC User Interface Differences has => Feature Parity
Wiki Logos 4 Mac => Logos 4 => Common Experience on Mac & PC has:
Logos 4 on Mac and PC share code base – most items function identically on both platforms (including time needed to download resources and index library). Primary User Interface difference is many items inside PC window are located in Mac Menu Bar on top of screen: File, Guides, Tools, Layouts, & Help. PC control key often becomes command key on Mac. Wiki has Getting Started with Logos along with Table of Contents and Visual Table of Contents. Logos 4 is resource intensive on Mac & PC – benefits from fast processor, graphics, and quick disk storage along with adequate memory (i.e. newer hardware since Logos 4 being designed for use over 5 to 8 years).Likewise wiki Logos 4 Mac => What to Expect includes:
- Three Logos 4 Mac menus do not follow historic Mac conventions: File, Guides, and Layouts - recommend quick click to display menu (may take seconds to display), then can right OR left click on menu items.
Observation: the Logos 4 menus: File, Guides, and Layouts are a bit different than typical Windows programs since can right OR left click on menu items.

Vyrso has a variety of books, including non-fiction, and even theological books. Last month I purchased unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks about Christianity…and Why It Matters for only $2.99. And earlier this month I got You Lost Me: Why Young Christians Are Leaving Church…and Rethinking Faith for free. So you can pick up some great resources at lower prices, on sale, or even free. It’s a nice way to add to your library.
I just use collections to sort out books that I don’t want to show up when I search my entire library. It’s just like organizing our physical libraries (commentaries on one shelf, Christian Living on the other). I have been very pleased with some of the books they have added. And been blessed by the free books. I have also been able to add some favorites.
I value having these in a Logos format. One benefit to Vyrso over Kindle books, with Kindle there is a limit to how much you may copy to a research document or share on Facebook. When I have shared on Facebook from Kindle my quotes routinely get cut…removing context. Logos and Vyrso books have no such limitations.

To: Philana Crouch & Keep Smiling 4 Jesus,
Really appreciated both of your responses. Thank you. OK, I've got to admit after reading your responses that I am guilty of not having given Vyrso much serious consideration. I wasn't aware of the "free books" feature. I really didn't think about Vyrso beyond how it might or might not relate to Logos. I will check into it a bit more, but for now would either of you fill me in on the basics. What will they work on? Kindle? Nook? iPad (which I don't yet have, but will buy some day)? Will they work on my iPod? I haven't yet checked, but is there a Vyrso app downloadable from the Apple App Store? Can they be viewed on my PC laptop? If yes, is there Vyrso software I have to download first for it to work? Or will the Vyrso books be viewable directly in Logos? Do you recommend this? Or would they get "lost" among the hundreds of Logos books I already have?
How often does Vyrso offer free books? Are all of them worthwhile? If you download one only to discover that it's not really what you expected, can they be removed/deleted from your library? When I've downloaded free Logos offerings, and ended up not liking them, I can't seem to get out of my Library list (example: the Perseus Collection, which has quite a few good additions for my library, but also contains dozens and dozens of Latin, Greek, and philosophy books that I really don't want).
By the way, this is the first time I've used the Forums, even though I've had Logos since version 1.0...which came out a LONG time ago...soon after Bob (the CEO, who once spoke with me on the phone for 30 minutes...great guy!) founded Logos after leaving Microsoft (and Apple before that). This has been very helpful and interesting, and I definitely will return in the future.
Also, to the individuals (Room4more & Alabama24) who responded with the comment about "Christian Fiction" being an oxymoron, as Christianity was about TRUTH, and fiction was make believe... I respectfully disagree with your opinion. I have read some of the greatest, most spiritually-moving, faith-reinforcing, awesomely-witnessing fiction works. I highly recommend the Ted Dekker series (Black--Red--White--Green). Another incredible author is T. Davis Bunn, who also writes under Davis Bunn. Try his books: The Book of Hours, or the Reluctant Prophet Series: The Warning and The Ultimatum, or Book of Dreams (part 2, Hidden in Dreams, will be released July 3rd), or The Presence and Promises To Keep, another really great 2-part series) You will NOT be disappointed. Then, in a completely different vein, I urge you to try another strong Christian writer, Charles Martin (Chasing Fireflies or Where The River Ends or The Mountain Between Us (which they are making a movie out of) -- all 3 were some of the BEST fiction I've ever read) and also Angela Hunt (The Debt -- an awesome comparison of 2 styles of witnessing that will challenge most westerner's ideas of "outreach"). Then there's Riven by Jerry Jenkins (the man who co-authored the 16-book Left Behind series that has impacted the world). It will really disturb any Christian complacency. None of the above are your Christianized love story scenarios, but REALLY well-plotted reading, with very memorable characters, messages and tremendous wisdom worth noting.

If it's not too much trouble, would you explain to me how to use "collections to sort out books that I don't want to show up when I search the entire library". I'm referring to the Perseus Collection. It's a real pain when scrolling through my library on my iPod to have to always get through/past the hundreds of books in the Perseus collection in order to find the books that I want.

If you simply want to remove them from the library display rather than actually removing them from your computer (called "hiding"), then you can use "* ANDNOT perseus." Note that the "*" (asterisk) is a wild card indicating everything (which could be replaced by some search term) and that the "ANDNOT" must be upper case.

The Apple App Store has Vyrso from Logos, which is a subset of the Logos mobile app for iOS. Caveat: Vyrso and Logos app have separate accounts to sign-in to Logos plus have separate resources downloaded for offline use.
John D. Maher said:Or will the Vyrso books be viewable directly in Logos?
Personally have a Vyrso collection in Logos 4 using rule:
edition:eBook
John D. Maher said:How often does Vyrso offer free books?
Varies: personally have a bookmark to check Vyrso daily for deals. Some free eBooks are available for one day while others are available for a number of days. Looking at May specials => http://vyrso.com/may noticed 3 eBooks are currently free.
John D. Maher said:Are all of them worthwhile? If you download one only to discover that it's not really what you expected, can they be removed/deleted from your library?
Vyrso eBooks can be hidden like Logos resources, which removes resource locally from Logos 4. Looking forward to hidden resources being excluded from mobile Logos apps.

With several thousand resources, personally have learned to use library filtering. When iOS app is online, can exclude perseus:
edition:l -perseus
that shows all Logos resources in Library for mobile use without perseus. Also can filter for Vyrso ebooks using:
edition:e
Then choose to download resources for offline use. Enabling airplane mode on iOS causes Logos library to show resources downloaded for offline use, which can be filtered by looking for words in the titles and.or authors.
While looking for some Greek resources in Vyrso app on an iPad to download, am using library filter:
edition:l greek -perseus -manuscript

Looking forward to hidden resources being excluded from mobile Logos apps.
With all due respect, I'm not… At least until the "hidden" book feature is properly done. There are plenty of books that I may want "hidden" (really it should be called archived) in L4, but I may not want hidden/archived on my iPad. An all or nothing would really tick me off. [6]
(It really is time for Logos to implement changes to the "hidden" feature, and for goodness sake, call it ARCHIVE like everyone else!)

Vyrso can refer to 1) a "trade" ebook store (selling the kinds of books you would find at your local christian bookstore, rather than more academic works, 2) an application for iOS & Andriod (a simplified version of the Logos app for both platforms) and 3) the kind of resource (Vyrso quality compared to Logos quality).

Others have mentioned "hiding" books in Logos 4. There is another option for some of these resources… ask Logos to remove the license. If you REALLY don't want Perseus, the best thing to do is ask Logos to remove it. It will then disappear from all apps permanently.
John D. Maher said:Also, to the individuals (Room4more & Alabama24) who responded with the comment about "Christian Fiction" being an oxymoron, as Christianity was about TRUTH, and fiction was make believe... I respectfully disagree with your opinion.
I did not call it an oxymoron, nor did I agree with that statement. I could not tell if R4M was making a joke or not, so I gave an example of "Christian Fiction" (i.e. Amish Romance Novels). FYI - Many of the "Christian Fiction" books you mentioned are in the Vyrso store.
