You can't get there from here! *smile*

Peace to my Logos Forums Brothers and Sisters!                               *smile*

Perhaps there is help for my quandary?     I need your thoughts and ideas, please!

         My problems stem from the implications of this thread ... http://community.logos.com/forums/t/76365.aspx

   In the last post there Jack Hairston said:  "You have landed on a conundrum wrapped in an enigma!"

And that's the way I feel!

                  Jack has some super-excellent erudite and quite pastoral and scholarly notes on his FaithLife Group!                   https://faithlife.com/jack-hairston/activity

              People are flocking to his site -- for a reason!         *smile*

OK - my problem -   yesterday I "got" his Psalms file!            It incorporated perfectly in my Logos 5.1 Installation!                    All his many great notes were now mine to use!

              So, since the colour of his note indicator in Psalm 2 was the same as my note, I changed the colour ...           and that cut me off from having a "shared resource"

            Or, as Jack says it ....    and my response attached  ...          Does anyone have any great ideas here!                 I guess I can't have my cake and eat it also???               eh???           *smile*

Milford Charles Murray:


it now works perfectly.             It is listed in a shared documents site, and no action is available...
           I'd like to start a new thread on these forums to discuss the matter with others who probably know the "ins and outs" of downloading others' notes better than  I. Would you mind if I did that?     
However, if changing a note colour or making a brief note on your note files cuts me off from on-going communication with your group and any updates you do on your note files. well, then, I'm not quite sure how to handle that....


Jack's Response:
You have landed on a conundrum wrapped in an enigma. How can you make changes to your copy, yet still receive all the changes I make to my copy. A magazine for computer programmers once published a program I wrote to try to do just that. It was called "Solomon," oddly enough, after the Bible's story about the baby. It turns out that the computer could merge some of the changes, but not all of them. Perhaps the Logos developers are smarter than I, and can figure a way for the computer to do the deed without dismembering the "baby."

(No, I don't mind if you launch such a thread. I'd be interested to watch the fun.) <grin>

There are different ways you can share documents:

• Publish - people will be able to create a copy of your document. Any changes made after than won't be shared.
• Collaborate - anyone in the group will be able to edit the document. Changes they make will be shared with everyone else.

In theory, Collaborate could cause problems if two people try and edit a document at the same time — but syncing happens often enough for that not to be a problem two often. I'm not sure how Logos handles this.

If Jack has set his notes to 'publish', then people won't get future changes to them. They'd have to delete the document, then get it again from Jack.

What is really needed is a read only mode, whereby people could get the document, keep it up to date, but not make changes. But that doesn't exist at the moment.
