4.0a Beta 3 (v4.01.3.3970) was released this afternoon.

Wow, the list looks impressive, Bradley. Thank you for a great job (as usual).

Frank Sauer

Downloaded and installed with no issue... Quickly checked out the new feature to change the background color of resources... Nice and I'm sure it will please the folks who were looking for something with more warmth for their eyes...

Frank Sauer

Bradley, does this include a compare pericopes icon being placed on the toolbar section? I now have one and did not put the shortcut there...

Mitch Davis

Downloaded 36 MB no problems
AT about 50% installation: Logos Bible Software 4: Warning 1946. Property 'System.AppUserModel.ID' for shortcut 'Logos Bible Software 4.Ink' could not be set (the result of me moving the Shortcut to the Windows 7 Taskbar). Finished installation without a problem.
Program loaded no problem.

Looks and feels good.

Add button in Guides is now keyboard accessible

What's the shortcut?

Filtered Resource Picker suggestions are now ordered correctly after clearing the filter.

Fixed default/filter selection for many resource pickers.

I don't know what this means. What's the "Resource Picker"?

Fixed bug in merging indexes (use “reindex now” to rebuild your index)

Wonderful. Pity I reindexed over night.

Improved My Library keyboard navigation.

What's changed?

New bookmarks are not created when the Show Visual Bookmarks setting is set to off.

Thanks

Added Bible Text Only visual filter

Well done

Absolutely fantastic....

It would be nice if the implementation of the features were quickly explained. For example, where in the world do I find the settings to do this?

Downloaded and installed with no issue... Quickly checked out the new feature to change the background color of resources... Nice and I'm sure it will please the folks who were looking for something with more warmth for their eyes...

And where do I find the Copy Bible Verses Shortcut? Why could the notes not have given the shortcut?

How do I disable the ribbon on the homepage?

Seriously, it would make everyone's job easier (especially yours, Bradley) if you gave a little detail on the features in the Release Notes. That would avoid post after post of "how do I do that?"

Rich DeRuiter

Added Bible Text Only visual filter

This seems to set the view to one verse per line, and doesn't eliminate verse numbers. It does get rid of section headings. Not what I expected.

Added Copy Bible Verses global hotkey (in panel menu)

I looked for this but didn't find it, until I opened the CBV and looked in its panel menu. Then I saw where it can be changed. Maybe that was obvious to everyone but me.

Added export to Search Analysis datasheet

Where is this added? I see the DataSheet option in the search results display. But I don't see anything added since B2. Please clarify.

Added preference to set resource panel background color

This is pretty cool, though only a few colors may not be enough to satisfy some. I also notice that search panels and other non-resource displays still use the default "White" background. Is that by design? I'm fine with that, just curious. (I do like the subtlety of 'Paper' just right for me).

Added preference to turn off visual cues

Found in the settings menu. (No need for me to change it from the default, but some really do want this.)

Added “reindex now” command (NOTE: this currently doesn’t stop the indexer if it’s already running)

Haven't tried this, but good idea. What should we advise people who have indexing going, who know they will want to reindex when done?

Home Page ribbon features can be disabled

Nice. Works great!

Search: My Content now shows results from guides.

I don't have much content yet in the guides. Will already built guides need to be rebuilt for this data to show up, restarted, or will it work automatically? Just curious.

I haven't tested all the fixes yet, but have looked at a couple of them. Looks good to me so far!

Simon

Works great. Feels faster then beta2

Todd Phillips

Added Bible Text Only visual filter

This seems to set the view to one verse per line, and doesn't eliminate verse numbers. It does get rid of section headings. Not what I expected.

It works the way Bible Text Only worked in v3. Which was what people were asking for.

Sure.

3666.Copy-of-Logos4.zip

Had to compress it since it was large...still syncing, btw. Thinking about shutting down Logos.

Could it be related to a corrupted index?

BillS

Installed without incident. Since I installed B2, am reindexing now to ensure no problems. Reindex now works.

Happy camper...[:)]

Added Copy Bible Verses global hotkey (in panel menu)

Thank you for the hotkey.

I want the global CBV hotkey to Copy and Paste. Now it's two steps: first press hotkey and then Alt+P.

There could be a selection in the panel menu to toogle between "Copy and Paste" or just "Copy" the selected passage when pressing hotkey.

L4 not working after Beta 3 update (i had Beta2 before update). i've got more info in this thread.

Add button in Guides is now keyboard accessible

What's the shortcut?

It's a tab stop.

Filtered Resource Picker suggestions are now ordered correctly after clearing the filter.

Fixed default/filter selection for many resource pickers.

I don't know what this means. What's the "Resource Picker"?

Any control with a blue dotted underline where you can pick a resource (e.g., "Entire Library" in Basic Search panel) is a "resource picker".

Improved My Library keyboard navigation.

What's changed?

The image in list view isn't a tab stop, the "View" button is, etc.

TCBlack

Well once again, it rearranged all the stuff in my ribbon. Choose preferred Bible is back to the #1 slot.

Home Page ribbon features can be disabled

WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO WHOO!

Thank you!

Added Bible Text Only visual filter

This seems to set the view to one verse per line, and doesn't eliminate verse numbers. It does get rid of section headings. Not what I expected.

It's pretty much the same as the LDLS3 "Bible Text Only" view, as far as I can tell.

Added Copy Bible Verses global hotkey (in panel menu)

I looked for this but didn't find it, until I opened the CBV and looked in its panel menu. Then I saw where it can be changed. Maybe that was obvious to everyone but me.

Added export to Search Analysis datasheet

Where is this added? I see the DataSheet option in the search results display. But I don't see anything added since B2. Please clarify.

Try looking in the Panel Menu for this one...

Added preference to set resource panel background color

This is pretty cool, though only a few colors may not be enough to satisfy some. I also notice that search panels and other non-resource displays still use the default "White" background. Is that by design? I'm fine with that, just curious. (I do like the subtlety of 'Paper' just right for me).

That's on our list; we've only implemented the setting for resource panels right now.

Added “reindex now” command (NOTE: this currently doesn’t stop the indexer if it’s already running)

Haven't tried this, but good idea. What should we advise people who have indexing going, who know they will want to reindex when done?

As a temporary workaround, you could terminate the indexer process. This is not recommended in general, though.

It's definitely in a loop. I sorted the log file and the sync entries are repeating the same resource syncs.

Hey Bradley, dumb question as to where is the L4.0a Beta 3 link?

Oh can I go directly to Beta 3?

Thanks Philip appreciate your quick response. How is your eval of this release. BTW pic is very cool.

Downloaded. Installed. Sync'ed for quite a while (I had to go home so shut down and re-started later - so not sure total time) - No problems

Like what I'm seeing so far.

Thanks for the ribbon control.

Like the background color - some may want more choices - I'm good

Thanks, Logos team

I'm just now sitting down to play. had a LOOOONNNNGGGG board meeting. I had about 30 minutes after a viewing to check the blog, saw L4 b3 was up, got a bit of practice in and then off to the bored meeting. Now.....its playtime!

Dewayne Davis

Added “reindex now” command (NOTE: this currently doesn’t stop the indexer if it’s already running)

Ran the update and reindexed my library. This corrected the problem that I was having, (though not reported here yet), where my Bible Search in Top Bibles, In the New Testament for "Kingdom of God" was not properly filling in colored search result boxes in the ESV for hits. Many were empty that were accurate hits. After a four hour index, they are displaying correctly. Thanks. [*]

Kevin Becker

Installed it, no problem. I walked away to let it sync so I have no idea how long it took. I've tried out most of the new features. They work great!

James W Bennett

Added preference to set resource panel background color
Added preference to turn off visual cues

These additions are most welcome. Not to sound ungrateful or greedy because being able to change the background color on the resource panels provides the ability to make reading easy on the eyes and I love it. Is there a plan to allow changing the background color of the other panels and the home page? And if not will you consider it? Please....

Kevin A. Purcell

Customizing the Home Ribbon --- VERY COOL!!

Look. No choose recent reading lists and no lectionary!! Me like!

See. I told this program would be getting much better. [:D]

Also like the Bible Text Only feature ...

Notice also the grey background which is in the Tools Settings page under Resource Panel Background. I noticed that the settings for Paper and Very Light Gray on my monitor do not look different than white (and Windows default which I have set to default color which in win7 is white).

Finally, you can see from the last screen shot above that the black toolbar thing is still broken.

now you just need to catch up on your reading plan Kevin LOL [:)]

I don't really use Logos for reading devotions. I use MantisBible on my iPhone since it does tracking and does not require Internet access to view. I set one up just to try it out when I was reviewing.
