Passage Guide
Though everything is working as fast as it was, this is not true for the Passage Guide, at least for me it isn't. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm noticing it takes up to 8 seconds whereas before it was almost instantaneous.

First of all I right mouse click on any of he sections and collapse all. This way the PG opens with all sections closed. There are a few sections that are still slow such as Bible Places, Topics, etc. I do not want these populating until and unless I want to use them. So, yes there are a few sections in the PG that take time to populate. The trick is to make sure they only populate if you are going to use them by having all sections collapsed at opening.

Are you done indexing?

John, I think you hit the home run on this. I collapsed on all but the Commentaries and that did the trick. After I read what you said, I think I remember being told this a long ways back. It might have even been you.
David, it had indeed finished indexing but I took both pieces of advice and rebuilt the index. Appreciate both replies & the help. Thanks!

Glad that the work around helped.

Finding out the Passage Guide does not save after restarting computer. I've collapsed everything in there but the Commentaries and that works. But upon rebooting, I'm finding I have to collapse them all again. I've collapsed them then again and simply shut down Logos then restarted. I'm finding everything that was previously collapsed isn't anymore.
Would this be a bug or is there something else that I am not doing correctly?

I honestly don't know what the intended behavior is, but if it doesn't work for you, report it as a bug ... Faithlife needs the feedback ... being silent means Faithlife doesn't know it isn't optimum for all users.

Thanks for the quick reply. Please inform me again as to where I report this. Also, you say you do not know what the intended behaviour is. Do you mean by that you're not sure what I'm attempting to do?
(Found out how to report this - sorry for asking that question)

No, I mean I don't know what behavior the programmer was asked to build in ... most of the time, the specifications can easily be guessed. Here I can't make a well-founded guess.

Understood. Have you found it is doing the same on your system?

Bootjack,
I am on macOS Mojave, after reading your post, I tried both restart Logos + reboot machine and restart Logos. I found the collapsed section works as expected. My screen shot here:

No problem with saving/resuming the state of my PG; which is part of my layout. Also no problem if I close it before exiting Logos, and then re-open it. I don't have many sections (8), and always keep clear of web-based sections.
If you don't often use certain sections, then Remove them. Use Add if you want them back. This behaviour is different to L7, because the state is saved without having to edit a guide template. Consequently, you don't have to create a customized Guide, and can continue to use the system Passage Guide.

I find it interesting that LimJK's system is saving it with no problems. This has me a bit confused as to why one system works and another isn't.
I see I can edit out ones I do not use. So am I understanding you correctly Dave, to say unlike Logos 7, Logos 8 is not saving what we collapse upon restarting the program? But then I have to ask, why is LimJK's system saving it or is that because he has edited out some of those options that are not needed. Maybe you can answer tha LimJK. Thanks for the replies.

Bootjack,
I don't know ... I am a fellow user like you, only used Logos 8 for a couple of hours. You shared the issue, I am merely trying repeat what you do to see if it is a common problem to all or just a specific problem to you. I am on macOS Mojava, I think Dave is on Windows ... we may need to let the folks from Logos to look into it (might want to contact tech support). Hope you have your issue resolve soon.

Thank you for your reply LimJK. What you're showing me from your picture seems to say it's isolated. I've reported it as a bug and Dave's solution will work like a manual override.

Bootjack,
Mine saves in the state I closed it. However, I have made adjustments (edited) the PG. Try opening the PG, collapsing all sections and then just move by dragging one of the sections up or down, than close it and reopen. This should save the PG.
I am on Mac using OS High Sierra.
Hope this helps.

Weird and wonderful John. Your solution did the trick but it leaves me to ask why does that fix the problem & how did you happen to light upon that fix. The latter question you can plead the fifth.

John, I too am on a Mac using Mohave. Just wondering if your Favorites folders open "expanded" regardless of how many times you collapse and close them. I'm not sure if this is unique to my machine or if its a problem in the IOS

I think it is a bug and just guessed at the work around. I have tweaked my PG and EG and saved them. I guessed that if you tweaked yours it may resolve your issue. There is another thread that the bug is being reviewed.

I can confirm this is the case. I do not use favorites very much, but if you do this can be annoying. I will see if a bug report has been posted and hopefully FL can resolve the matter soon. I do not have any work around to offer.

Well it was a good guess on your part and a guess that is much appreciated!

Thank you John, it was driving me crazy until I did what you said! I am using Windows 10, same result. This is why the forums are such a good tool! Restarted Logos, and the Passage Guide only was open for Commentaries...I had to drag/move one line down on the sections, and then restarting did the trick.

This has been improved in 8.9, now the application will remember what guide sections are collapsed or expanded and this should speed things up.

That snag was fixed over a year ago with the following instructions ... :-)
First of all I right mouse click on any of he sections and collapse all. This way the PG opens with all sections closed. There are a few sections that are still slow such as Bible Places, Topics, etc. I do not want these populating until and unless I want to use them.
