Crashing Gracefully - Kudos to Logos5!

I normally don't highlight in Logos5 (instead Libronix). But since Rick's new book on the NT Apocrypha is L5 only, I was highlighting away (a single highlight file).

I'd worked my way up to highlight number 300+ (per the one and only notes file) and the highlights were getting creepily slow. I decided to re-start Logos5. First I wanted to save the layout, so I clicked on the Layout panel (which takes about 7-8 seconds to load 30 icons) but then I remembered to delete a search first. I did that while the Layout panel was carefully making sure it had accounted for all 30 icons. Computers are like that.

That's when Logos5 crashed gracefully. After the crash, the front panel went from this:

To this:

Note how the library, search tabs etc have been carefully re-arrange in a more pleasing and thoughtful way.

The lexicons too are now in a neat orderly grouping all ready for use by the happy contented Logos5 user.

And bless Logos5's little heart, he didn't touch the other 5 windows.

Now is that gracefully crashing or what?

I deleted my highlight file, and went back to Libronix (which does have James). I'll read Rick's work and highlight James. Faster.

Well, 'the race' is on. I had almost 5 kill-Logos bugs in Logos4, most of which disappeared in Logos5.

So now the new challenge is 5 'fragment-Logos' (without crashing) bugs before Logos6 comes out. It'll be hard work, but I think I'm up to it.

Below I tried this bug again; this time all the tabs were arranged in random sequence (like most Logos5 users prefer of course). And again Logos5 gracefully left the other windows intact. Thank you Logos!!

Okaay! It's only days later and we have another 'crashing gracefully' to add to our count. We'll treat this as #2 (and only THREE more to go before Logos6).

This one is moving from a larger layout and clicking on a smaller layout (5 window to 1 window). None of the resources are viewable. Nor do any accept any mouse clicks. However the 'Logos' panels are fully active (scroll, search, and so forth). In fact, clicking on the resource scroll bar moves the Cited By text. We're talking GOOD.

This one is really fascinating, since the mouseover works for the resources; you just can't click on them or see the 'magic text'. A restart was fine (demonstrating the key feature: crashing gracefully). Yea Logos!!

It appears that Active Layout is working well[:D]

Well, not 'exactly'! I was reluctant to bring this up, since it's not germaine to the gracefully-crashing competition.

But it's becoming painfully obvious that either the active layout isn't saving under one of the 3 methods, OR the state of the NRSV interlinear ribbon doesn't save. I've been unable to get the active-layout to remember not to show the ribbon. For most, it's no biggie. But for me, the panel has to expanded, click the button, and then resize the panel.

There's no free lunches in Logosland.
