If the “last Monday in October“ holds true, look for Logos 10 on October 24th, 2022
I hope with release of Logos 10 that it has the following... (a few of my favorite things... I am sure others have some additions to this list). 1. In the mobile app.... the ability to insert heading in passage lists like in the desktop version. 2. InstaVerse upgraded to work with Logos Bibles. If not, then ability to have command key to open, type in a passage and paste it automatically into anything that I am working with: excel, word, powerpoint... etc. 3. Ability to have and edit and add bullets and numer items in slides in Sermon Builder. 4. Factbook updated - to work with all books. 5. Cross Reference - update to have more results. 6. Concordance Tool - have a button to click on for search and highlight the word for the result of the search.

7. Would like ability to expand and/or decrease sub topic of the Table of Contents on every book or page in Logos.
Maybe I'm missing something
No, it's just that I didn't know you meant Thompson Chain references. Not having it and never using them, they didn't come to mind as something that belonged in cross-references.

8. Please change Logos so that the first book that is opened (when no other books are opened) will open to the "LEFT" side of the screen instead of the right side of the screen.
5. Cross Reference - update to have more results More results from where? Cross-references come from the cross-reference resources listed in the top portion (I suspect many would like to see the latest edition of the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge added). Others, especially non-English users, may have other additions. The other sources of cross-references (the bottom portion) are the cross-references in Bibles. If there are any Bibles whose cross-references do not appear, this should be reported to Kyle as a resource error. It has been several years since I have seen this problem. Other kinds of relationships appear in the Important Passages section. When this was in beta testing, there was strong pushback on merging the two sections. Therefore, I don't understand what you want added to cross-references. Please explain.

SineNomine ----- I voted, thanks!
The New Treasury of Scripture Knowledge is also available too.
Yes, but I was referring to the latest edition while being too lazy to look up the title see The Ultimate Cross-Reference Treasury - Faithlife Forums (logos.com)
1. Is there a search field for cross-reference in the Information panel?
2. If so, do you have an example of a cross-reference in Thompson that does not appear in the guide list?
I don't have the resource so I can't check. With these two pieces of information, we know whether or not we need to bring the issue to Kyle.
Personally would like left to right language resources default reverting back to "LEFT" side (years ago) with right to left language resources defaulting to "RIGHT" side.
A work around idea is dragging a shortcut of a Book (Bible) to open on the "LEFT" side.

Current macOS Monterey 12.2.1 allows "Replace with Passage (Logos)" & "Replace with Passage (Verbum)" text services to be assigned command key combinations, which can be used in most text editors (seem to remember Microsoft Word not liking Faithlife text services). 'Replace with Passage' text services need a space between book & chapter.verse numbering so typed php 4.4-9 on three lines below followed by using "Replace with Passage" from Services in Application menu.
php 4.4-9
"Replace with Passage (Logos)"
Philippians 4:4–9 (1998:CJB)
4 Rejoice in union with the Lord always! I will say it again: rejoice! 5 Let everyone see how reasonable and gentle you are. The Lord is near! 6 Don’t worry about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. 7 Then God’s shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua. 8 In conclusion, brothers, focus your thoughts on what is true, noble, righteous, pure, lovable or admirable, on some virtue or on something praiseworthy. 9 Keep doing what you have learned and received from me, what you have heard and seen me doing; then the God who gives shalom will be with you.
"Replace with Passage (Verbum)"
Philippians 4:4–9 (LEB)
Be Anxious for Nothing
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. 5 Let your gentleness be made known to all people. The Lord is near. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are right, whatever things are pure, whatever things are pleasing, whatever things are commendable, if there is any excellence of character and if anything praiseworthy, think about these things. 9 And the things which you have learned and received and heard about and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Keep Smiling [:)]

10. I hope Logos 10 will have a "personal dictionary" whereby we can use accronyms for words (i.e. jc=Jesus, hs= Holy Spirit, ntt = New Testament, etc and etc.) so we can type faster.

Do you mean autocomplete? If not, what is preventing you from using the acronyms now?
That would be reinventing the wheel. How about?
"I hope that Logos 10 will make use of the inbuilt dictionary and autocomplete when when we are typing enabling the contractions we have programmed (i.e. jc=Jesus, hs= Holy Spirit, ntt = New Testament, etc and etc.) to be used."

Welllll..... maybe I've missed something..... but I don't know how to set up "my acronyms"???? Could you show me?
Thanks
but I don't know how to set up "my acronyms"???? Could you show me?
if you type RC it will automatically convert it to Roman Catholic
When I type 'RC' on my phone, it adds 'Sproul' [:)]

Thanks I wasn't aware of this newer one. I loved both previous ones in hardcover and digital but I know I will only go for the digital Ultimate now, thanks again for the heads up.
I'll try to clairfy .... Presently we users cannot define acronyms ... as I know it. I believe it would take each user to have his on "Personal Dictionary" which would allow him/her to set up their on acronyms to work with them and no one else. Word has this now.... I had it in WordSearch.... and I miss it. I got so used to having my own acronyms... that when I came to Logos... I spelled a lot of things wrong... .
I think this "Personal Ditionary" would be helpful in Logos for some (like me) that do a lot of typing.
Hope this clarification helps.....[8-|]
Oh... and Mike Binks..... I think my wife got into my personal dictionary.... cause when I type "idiot" it inserts... "So you are!".....
I'll try to clairfy ....
Thank you, it is appreciated! [:)]
Presently we users cannot define acronyms ... as I know it.
I still don't understand, so let me present two options to see if one fits:
Are one of those what you mean?
The first one is what we meant by "auto correct." Mac has this built in, although I don't know if Logos allows for it. I'll check!
EDIT: It doesn't. When Mac users complain about Logos not being "native," this is one of those things.

The Mac & iOS have this ability (I don't know about Windows/Android). You create shortcuts under the keyboard settings.
You get more power/control with specialized apps like Typinator or TextExpander (and others) on the Mac. They work in Logos, email, Obsidian, Word, Pages, Google Docs, etc. You can also create your own set of autocorrect for misspelled words: Weirsebe corrects to Wiersbe, teh corrects to the, abotu corrects to about, etc. Also, I use these apps to send weekly emails to our worship team. The email has the same text but the app inserts the file names from the clipboard.

Thanks. But, I'm just not rich enough to buy Apple products.... [:(]
Edit: I think Windows has such things.... but the problem is... that as far as I have tried so far.... they don't work when I'm typing in on of the Logos docs.... like Sermon Builder or such....
In Windows you can use the free and powerful tool AutoHotkey and go as nuts as you want with hotkeys and automations to your hearts content. Enjoy.

11. Change search in Library search to allow either lower case or capital letters... seems that it is case sensitive now.
12. Passage Guide... all to be able to "right-click" to enter a passage anywhere in the document. Currently, can only enter a passage at the bottom of the document and then have to manually move it up in the document.
haha! That's great.
[:D]
Done - mine is not case sensitive in the search argument area. nor in the facet search area.
I believe you mean "add a new section" to the Passage Guide. The passage reference is entered once at the top.

Another fumble by myself.... Which, even if I do say so myself... I'm very good at fumbling. Fumbling may be my greatest forte !!!
What I meant is...
11. You are right about this one.
12. Passage List - ability to right click and enter a passage anywhere in the document. As it stands now.... we have go to the bottom of the passage list.... enter a passage... then move that passage up to where we want it in the document.
Thanks.
Be very cautious of people who claim to know the day or the hour...
From what I can vaguely recall from when I started this thread, it was semi-tongue in cheek based on the predictions vs. reality when L9 was released.
of course, if I guessed it right and FL wants to reward me with a discount, I wouldn’t say no 😉
Heresy Checker™ – No need to worry about accidentally affirming Arianism or the latest Joel Osteen book. That quote from C. S. Lewis? The Heresy Checker™ will popup a window reminding you that Lewis was not fully orthodox in his writings!
This tool also gives the user a "Select Your Orthodoxy" dropdown, so the user can select the view they consider orthodox, against which the scanned content will be searched for discrepancies.
Unfortunately it seems that "What I think" is not an option offered in this dropdown! [:D]
Love it, Richard.
1. In the mobile app....
2. ZipScript upgraded to work with Logos Bibles. If not, then ability to have command key to open, type in a passage and paste it automatically into anything that I am working with: excel, word, powerpoint... NoteTaker ... etc.
3. Factbook updated - to work with all books (like ws....).
4. Concordance Tool - have a button to click on for search and highlight the word for the result of the search.
5. Would like ability to expand and/or decrease sub topic of the Table of Contents on every resource or page in Logos Hopefully by adding "< >" to ToC top menu bar.
6. Please change Logos so that the first book that is opened (when no other books are opened) will open to the "LEFT" side of the screen instead of the right side of the screen. Currently first resource opened in Logos opens on right side of screen.
7. I hope Logos 10 will have a "personal dictionary" whereby we can use acronyms for words (i.e. jc=Jesus, hs= Holy Spirit, ntt = New Testament, etc and etc.) so we can type faster. Like in Word and we had in WordSearch.
8. Ability in Sermon Builder to be able to define a template and actually choose that template and have SB actually remember how that template was set up as we type. At the least, be able to save how we set up Headings in SB along with how the text and background is set up. So that if I click on Heading 4... I get how I set up Heading 4 and not have to re-format Heading 4.
9. Ability to "link" one individual Note to another individual Note. Currently, We can link Notebooks but not individual Notes. This would enhance Notes greatly.
A. add to be able to "right-click" to enter a passage anywhere in the document. Currently, can only enter a passage at the bottom of the document and then have to manually move it up in the document.
I think you are talking about adding a guide section. The passage is enterable only at the top of the document.

Not the same at all. I want to be able to (in the middle or elsewhere) in a Passage List... to right click and add a verse....
Okay, then I can't make sense out of your request. A passage guide is on a fixed passage. Having different sections of a passage guide refer to different passages would lead to mayhem and require a major rewrite.. It is easy enough to open a separate guide consisting of a single section that you set to your additional verse(s).

In Docs its called Passage List.... Its the place where you list a bunch of passages.... it's not Passage Guide where you study a passage...
Look under Docs -->New-->Passage List
I use them to group passages of like things together.... so that I can find some things when I need it......
Edit: I don't find it listed in the Guides or in the Tools.... don't know why.... but it is listed in Docs... Could be a carry over from WordSearch.... ????
I think the confusion arose with the original reference to a Passage Guide as opposed to a Passage List (which is a standard part of Logos and not related to the WordSearch transfer)
Sorry bout that.... another fumble among my many.... but maybe the first mistake of the last 5 minutes??? lol
Ah, the request makes perfect sense when I know that you are talking about the Passage List document ... which has been around for a very long time.. It's called a document because like all documents, it creates an electronic document that is stored on your computer and the cloud for backup and sharing.
Thanks Graham --- again.
I hope with release of Logos 10 that it has the following... (a few of my favorite things... I am sure others have some additions to this list). The list has been changed to protect the innocent and because my learning is increasing. But, I think it's good to keep these things current --- kind of like the Persistent Friend (Luk 11:5-10)
10. Passage List... (this is now corrected)
11. Stop Factbook from opening every time when I try to type in "Go Box" or Search. If I want Factbook open... let me choose to do so and don't force it on me. (I don't use Factbook... it doesn't help me find anything and now it is a nuisance or a "make work interruptus" in that I have to stop and close it).
Vote here.
Vote here. (I know you already did.)
Thanks SineNoine....
Has their been a beta yet? Any planned/upcoming features they've mentioned?
6. Please change Logos so that the first book that is opened (when no other books are opened) will open to the "LEFT" side of the screen instead of the right side of the screen. Currently first resource opened in Logos opens on right side of screen. Vote here.
I would want this to be user-settable. I like having my books open on the right, because I use the left side for Search panels, Guides, and the larger Tools panels (Collections, Personal Books, etc.).
I would want this to be user-settable. I like having my books open on the right, because . . .
I agree with Rosie. I'm so used to how it works that I automatically open first the resource I want to be on the right side.
