Adding functionality to linked panes

David Christensen · March 2013

I've been working with my Logos 5 for about a Month now, and something which I have found myself expecting it to do naturally (probably because I'm used to the OliveTree app on my phone/tablet) is the way linked panes work. I personally really like the idea of, optionally, setting a leader pane in a given pane set, let's say 'A', and then anywhere the leader goes the other panes follow; however, if you scroll the other panes (let's say they are study bibles or commentaries) these panes, since they are follower panes and not the leader, do not force the leader pane to a new position (nor any of the other follower panes). This would be super awesome. Currently I scroll in my linked commentary and it moves my bible to different places. I unlink them but then it doesn't even open to the chapter I'm in..

If this feature were to be implemented, it would be sweet to see it show up in the Android version as well. The linked pane functionality behaves similarly to the above description of Logos 5 now. It would be better if there was a following drop down to choose the current functionality (egalitarian panes) or the kind where the second pane is a follower or helper of sorts which doesn't drag the lead pane around (complementarian pane).

Let me know if I can be of any help.

With joy,

-David

I've seen this idea proposed & discussed a couple of times in the forums. You should check http://wiki.logos.com/UserVoice & vote if the suggestion is there, else create the suggestion.
