Impressions after a few days of Logos on the Mac

  Several days ago, I made the leap and moved from a PC laptop to an Apple MacBook Pro.  Logos was the first program I downloaded and installed.  After taking a LONG time to index, I have now used Logos on the Mac for several days. Having read the wiki articles on the differences between the Mac and PC versions of Logos 4, I was expecting some degree of difference.

    After several days of use, I must say that I am overall very pleased. While there are some minor differences, the two mirror one another very well.  In fact, there are some things that I like better on the Mac and the first time I did a search, I was impressed with the speed - far superior to the PC in search speed.

    There is one very aggravating difference. The Mac version does not create hyperlinks to Bible passages automatically as you type. Unless there is a setting that I have missed, this must be done manually on the Mac.  While this is not a "deal breaker" for me, it is a source of frustration.

     BOTTOM LINE:  I absolutely love my new Mac.  Logos 4 Mac is very close to being as good as the PC version - close enough that I am willing to live with the hyperlink issue in order to be able to enjoy having a Mac!  Thoughts appreciated.

    Wiki => http://wiki.logos.com/Mac_and_PC_User_Interface_Differences#Feature_Parity includes a reply from Logos:

    PC Notes can automatically hyperlink scripture in notes while hyperlink can be manually added on Mac

    • Logos: We presently use operating system controls for rich text editing on each platform. The functionality is not the same on each, and we are unable to hook in at a low level to enable all the desired features on the Mac platform. Our long term plan is to replace the OS provided rich text editor with our own component, but until then we are unlikely to be able to advance the text editing features beyond their current state.
