Saw something that leads me to believe that when I type a bible ref in a note that Logos 5 should turn it into a hyperlink. Is this the case? If so, mine is broken. If not, then that's a shame.

    Hi Kevin

    This works on Windows but not currently on Mac - does this explain what you are seeing?

    It should arrive on Mac in the future

    This is a limitation of the current notes engine on the Mac OS. It will be corrected when the new notes engine is released, but I do not have a clue as to the progress of that project. Do know that it is in progress.

    This is a parity issue from L4.

    Sadly, I'm discovering some more of those parity issues. The reading engine doesn't give us the "bouncing ball" and there's something in the Passage analysis, but I can't remember what.

    Most of the party issues from L4 still exist in L5 and will be addressed—soon I hope—although I have no inside information as to when they will be addressed.

    Everything new in L5 is should have parity between Mac and Windows versions.
