RC1 Release: Disappointing

Dave Hooton

Many bugs from this beta remain unanswered and now we are at RC1!?

I shouldn't need to list these bugs, but I also include regression bugs from Logos 4 brought up in the first L5 beta.

Incomplete features that don't deserve this RC1 accolade include:

"active" layout - when the label doesn't stick after a restart
mobile sync - when I still have two devices with the same name and different apps
History sync - history list is unorganised

"active" layout - when the label doesn't stick after a restart

I am able to reproduce this by following these steps:

Select "Most recent layout - any" or "Most recent layout - local" in the "At Startup Open to" setting in Program Settings
Open a named layout (so it is now the active layout)
Close and reopen the program

The result from following those steps is that the panels open are correct, but the layout name is not displayed at the top of the program window. This is a bug. I will create a case for this.

mobile sync - when I still have two devices with the same name and different apps

You will have to fix this manually by removing one of the devices on your Account page on Logos.com. If this problem reoccurs after you remove the device, please let us know.

History sync - history list is unorganised

This isn't so much a bug as it is a design question. I will create a case for this.

Thanks Brisa - my setting was "local"

Well, this was a well kept secret. I trust it will be documented soon.

The duplicated device is samsung GT-I9000. I went to my Account settings, deleted the device that showed both Vyrso and Logos apps in the ESV bible Information, then renamed the other device and saved it. After 15 min nothing has changed in the desktop RC1. I reopened the ESV twice, then restarted Logos to finally get the change. This should also be documented.

Whether I deleted the correct duplicate remains to be seen...

Thank you - this was one of the issues I reported earlier.

Thanks for standing in there for all the rest of us.

This is the most disappointing RC release in my memory.

BSL practically unusable in 5.0b Mac.

Sentence Diagramming is a mess.

This is a change?[*-)]

Okay, I like the feature ... but I rarely do them in Logos because it is such a slow process.

Peace, Martha!

You have a great list of sentence diagrams in your Sentence Diagram Group. I downloaded one of them today to my Logos 5 Desktop and look forward to learning as I work with it!

Thank you for your patience!

In that case, what do you use?

Unfortunately few of them are my work - most came from offerings in Files.

In that case, what do you use?

LingTree and SenDraw ... with Inspiration 9 for bilingual

Can you please elaborate on this? The issue originally reported here, should be fixed in RC1. If you are still experiencing the crash, can you please update that thread with new logs?

OK, it works now. Had given up trying it as BSL was 100% guaranteed to cause a crash. Did not see the fix in the Release Notes.

Thanks Brisa - my setting was "local"

This issue will be fixed in 5.0b RC 2.

Confirmed fixed for "local" and "any" in RC2
