Layouts
Is it possible to have three vertical columns across the top third of the screen (for various text resources) and one horizontal window across the bottom two thirds (for the wide visualizations like Lexham Syntax Graphs and OpenText.org Clause Analysis)? I've tried to drag-and-drop but haven't got it to work yet.

I did manage to get it set up. First select the layout that has 3 horizontal panes. Then drag the top two around. I was able to get it working this way.

Yes. But you need to drag your horizontal window all the way to the bottom. The hot spot is pretty low and small.

May I just say I love what you guys have done with the windows. It will take a little getting used to but I find them much better then 3.X. Often times tabs would get buried. Layouts are far Superior to workspaces as well.

Got it - I just didn't go low enough. Now that I know where the hot spot is, this is easy. I agree with Philip - I like the windows. I wasn't very found of them at first (memories of other software I used that looked a lot like these windows but didn't work well), but now that I'm getting the hang of it, they're great.
Thank you Phil, and the whole Logos team. I could hardly wait for version 4 before I know anything about it. Now I CAN'T wait for the release version.

Negatory, Houston. I much prefer workspaces. Workspaces have names, not some tiny picture which is too small to discern what's in it. Give me a word as opposed to a picture any day.

Why not name your layouts? [;)]
Beta 5 can manage to open layouts from Beta 4 so maybe naming isn't waste of work and time.

The layout feature was one of the first "wooohoo" features that stood out with me. Great job, Logos!

That might make it a bit more acceptable if I were able to name the layouts; however, I see no way to name them even though they have a section labelled "Named Layouts." I still thing it's a huge waste of space to have all of those stupid pics there. I have so many workspaces in 3.0 that it would be a rather lengthy list. I don't want to bother paging through them.

Open Layouts (Alt+A):
Then click on the little pen right of "Snapshot | 6:11 PM"
Name your layout in the white box. Then click elsewhere and your layout moves to named layouts in the left (just the name, no pictures)

Dang, this is great stuff. Regrettably, the pen was too light so I didn't see or recognize it...

whenever you see the small, unnoticeable pencil you can name something. It shows up in the library when you show information as well so you can give something a short name. Once you name it it will become available on the left under "named layouts."
I'm not sure whether you don't know about this feature or it doesn't work on your machine, but I hope it helps either way.

Open Layouts (Alt+A) ...
Thanks, that did the trick. I am always wishing I had a help file for situations like this.

How does one see the unnoticeable? It would help if it were a bit more noticeable [Perhaps it will be more noticeable after I have had Lasik surgery?]. Thanks to one and all who responded.

I can name it, but how do I move it to the "Named Layouts" column. The only way it seems to happen is when you close the Layout pull down.

It all happens automatically. Just name it and it saves. You can save any new layout with the same name as the old one. So, if you're doing a study on Ephesians (like I am) you can have all your fav Ephesians commentaries & other resources out and change them to your current text as you go, just keep renaming the layout the same (e.g. "Ephesians"), every time you need to switch to another study, and you can come back just where you left off before.
Note that as of Beta 5, if you do not close the program on the home page, your last layout gets loaded automatically (very cool!).

Hi Rich,
Thanks for reiterating this! I hadn't gone back to unclich "Load at Startup" on the homepage, so I was still having to click through it each time. unclicked it, & it auto-loads the layout I left.
Yay! Love it! Yay, Logos!
Grace & Peace,
