I'm having trouble understanding what the folks at Logos expect the note taking workflow to be. When I sit down at the program to do a study, I expect to use notes to collect, arrange and, analyze information. But it seems in Loyos4, my notes can be scattered to multiple files. There's the notes files themselves, which incidentally don't seem to support outlining like they did in Logos3. There's a separate highlighting facility but no way I know of of searching for highlighted text There's the clippings feature that stores clippings and notes in another file. There's the handout feature that seems to kinda be clippings lite, but I'm not sure because all it ever does is crash the program. And finally Guides are saved with notes associated with than, although, strangely you can't access the saved guide except by generating the same one on the same verses again.
So, it seams to me that all the information and thoughts I'm triny GATHER ends up being SCATTERED. I would like to have seen something a little more integrated. If I were designing it, I would do something like this. There would be a unified note file, one for each study project. It would basically be an outline tool. A clipping would be branch in the outline containing the text, a reference, and a user note as leaf nodes. A guide would be a big branch, each section a sub-branch, etc. etc. etc. This way, when I'm working on a project, every thing is nicely self-contained and to me anyway intuitive.
Hopefully, I'm just missing something abort the expected workflow that when explained to one will make me see the light.
