Please help. I created a few visual filters for my Hebrew Bible, but for some reason they are not working. When I enter the Lexham Hebrew Bible I find only 1 visual filter listed (Logos Hebrew Morphology - Names). When I click on the check mark next to the Visual Filter, the list is populated with my other visual filters, but the quickly disappear leaving me with 2 visual filters to choose: Logos Hebrew Morphology - Names and People, Places, Things - Louw and Nida (which also disappears after a few seconds).

In the BHS, BHS SESB 2.0, BHS/WIVU,  and BHS/WTS I have no Visual Filters.

Can anyone help?

    What sort of visual filters? If they are morphological they will work only on texts that are coded for that particular morphology. If by genre in Hebrew only the Andersen-Fobets version will work ...

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Hi M.J.,

    thanks for replying. Here is a simple example. In the ESV I try to create a Visual Filter showing all the nouns with a Definite Article. When creating the Visual Filter I use @NC????H on all Passages in the ESV with Alexander Forbes Hebrew Morphology. I give the Visual Filter a name etc.

    The filter never appears in the ESV. When I click on the Visual Filter check mark (the one that activates/de-activates all visual filters), my new filter (with a check mark next to it) does appear quickly in the list, but then it disappears again. None of the filters I create appears in the list (except for briefly populating in the list before disappearing).

    Visual Filters using AF morphology no longer work except for in AFAT itself.

    You need to use Logos Hebrew Morphology for ESV - however this doesn't support some of the AF attributes such as "Definiteness" so you won't be able to get exactly what you want.

    Thanks for the reply. I am working through the Learn Hebrew Video Series and I am trying to follow the examples. I am aware that Logos made some dramatic changes after releasing this series, but I am not 100% certain which changes they made. I guess this is one of them. [:|]

    Yes, this change was introduced with Logos 5.

  • The option "Visual Filter" is gone!

    When I click over the three dots on the selected Bible (BHS-WIVU or BHS SESB in my case), the option doesn't show up.

    Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Any fix?

    I'm not seeing this
