I will say this: that second team of coders is really paying off. Keep up the good work guys!
This explains a lot.
I was certain that the morphology picker was included in A17, and I that was just not smart enough to find it. In fact, I looked up the release notes and I still cannot understand them otherwise:
Morph Search (NEW) - Morphology Picker - Verses View - Aligned View
http://community.logos.com/forums/t/14979.aspx
Anyway, I'm glad it wan't just me.
The "morphology picker" referred to in the Alpha 17 notes is the picker which allows you to select a particular morphology (Logos, AndersenForbes, etc). The thing displayed here is a allows you to construct morphological criteria.
Also, to be fair to Richard, he is a full-time employee and most decidedly "first team" .
That would explain it
looking good!
Um, that ical for the soul? ;-)
Will this work for JPS Bible? Or can it be set up to do a year??
Keep it up, thank you.
Yes, it will work with the JPS Bible, or any book in your library, including books that are not bibles. You can make a plan to read it in a year, or specify other time options such as finishing in a certain number of weeks, or to read a certain number of verses per session.
I'm currently an XP user...sorry...but I stumbled upon this thread and am considering moving over to the "Bright" side eventually. In the mean time...
I have asked for a way to have the reading plan end at the beginning of the next chapter (I believe L3 used to have this option), but no one has been able to get this done. I wonder if you incredibly talented Mac programmers can come up with a way to do just that. I would love to set up a reading plan to read a chapter of OT/Psalms/Prov/NT each day rather than leaving off mid chapter...no end date necessarily. Any ideas? Thanks...Michael
Ooooooh nice.... thank you.
Almost time for next release of A19. No new teasers lately. What is going on?
I really like this idea, and would prefer it myself. Right now, I have a plan for OT, NT, Ps, and Pr. What I'd like is for the Pr and Ps to end on chapter boundaries or have a bit more control over it. Again, great idea!
What I'd like is for the Pr and Ps to end on chapter boundaries or have a bit more control over it.
Exactly! This used to be an option in L3 I believe. It's very "uncomfortable" to begin/end mid-chapter. Also, I just set up a reading plan for Habakkuk today and had to "verify" how many chapters it was and then tell L4 to set it up for three days (presumably, one chapter a day...but, no! the first day includes the first chapter of the first verse of the second chapter. Arrg! Frustrating...any help coming in the future? As I stated already (post above), one chapter in OT/PS/PR/NT is what I would love to do. Thanks.
Beautiful... Interlineals?...
Everyone's too busy writing code to post teasers.
It's a good thing [:)].
Then by all means keep coding!
Monday is my birthday. When I blow out my *many* candles, I'm gonna wish for Notes, Highlighting and Prayer Lists (hint hint)
I have a suspicion you will get two out of three. Highlighting? I think so. Notes? I suspect maybe we'll see an early form. Prayer list? I'm not expecting it yet.
My birthday is next Thursday. Maybe they'll do a special release with passage lists just for me.

Pretty funny.
Well played, sir. Well Played.
ouch, loved it

Now I have to figure out which part might not be right... Guess I could be patient and wait, but this is the 21st century! Patience is so 100 years ago.
Patience is so 100 years ago.
Patience is so Galatians 5:22. That is, timeless. [:)]
Cf. Philippians 1:6. You'll get there, brother. [;)]
Patience is so Galatians 5:22. That is, timeless.
But if you look at the Greek for that you will find it doesn't really mean "patience" it means something more like "those who have been equipped to be patient" which means it doesn't apply to everyone but only those who have been so equipped. Plus, Galatians was written to the church at Galatia in response to some particular 1st century issues that no longer apply today so while that is God's Word, it doesn't really have any modern day application.
Faithful interpretation of Scripture is so 100 years ago. Making the Bible say what you want is the way of the 21st century!
it doesn't really have any modern day application.
None? Tongue in cheek, right?
LOOK!!!! ----- there's a bull.
And who is that waving the red rag?

Maybe a little. Or a lot.
Somebody has stolen the release notes for Alpha 18 call the peelers.
Somebody has stolen the release notes for Alpha 18
I think we know what that means ... [:D]
I've got it
Me too. Initiates *big* reindexing ...
performance is still an issue... it feels like the Alpha is stalled out here since about A16.
Wondering how long the Beta process will be now... and actually how long it will be until the Mac version isn't so far behind the PC side.
The end of May is the unofficial 6-month mark (actually 7 months since the L4 - "cross-platform" release). It looks like the Mac side is at this point at least a year behind the PC side.
That is disappointing.
Right now I am just happy they decided to make a Mac version. They are making great progress!! I am not a programmer, but it is certainly time consuming and takes a good bit of trial and error. I am so happy for what we have so far!!
Keep up the great work Logos Mac Team!!
Also, as a reminder. Let us not be quick to judge while it is indexing. It will be sluggish during indexing and understandably so. I have at least 26 hours left of indexing before I will do any real playing around with Alpha 19.
I am just a man, but let us all be patient and remember that an Alpha is an Alpha and nothing more. I think we should let Logos know when there are problems, but let us not act like that the fact there are problems is a bad thing. We already know there are problems, because this is an Alpha. They just need our help finding some problems that they may not have found yet.
The finished product, even if it is a year from now, will be awesome!!! (And yes, I made up the "year from now" time frame).
Jordan... bro...
Logos is not a charitable organization. I like it alot... but, we are customers. I am not being ungracious. I am simply stating the fact that things like "26 hours left to index..." is very disappointing.
I have a mind-boggling investment made in Logos and I want to continue to spur them on to deliver the products they have sold. They did not deliver on the first Mac product - I paid for that too.
I am just wanting to make sure we celebrate the right things and we spur them on in the right things.
Logos is a big boy company. I love that. They have made great strides to be the leader in the industry... I am simply interacting with them given the expectations they have set for themselves as a company. This is not simply a disappointment isolated to 7 months... it is a disappointment that goes back to 2006 when they first began to market Logos for Mac. I'm disappointed that we are only at this point in 4 yrs. I certainly think there are better things to come with Logos for Mac. But, up to this point in the Alpha Process that I have "upgraded" (= $$$) to participate in... I'm not thrilled.
(I know, I know, I know... it's Alpha - that is part of the point!)
With all loyalty to Logos,
Ross
thanks for all your comments.. .i am considering logos for mac (not currently using logos or mac). just curious as to which features are missing from mac platform? also wondering if all titles (books, commentaries, etc) are available to search / view on the mac? right now I am pretty settled on getting logos, just trying to decide if I should switch to mac or stick with PC so that logos (and a few other programs) will work well? thoughts?
Rob,
You will find a couple of other threads in the forum rehearsing the benefits of switching.
In answer to your specific question all books and commentaries are equally readable on both the mac and the PC.
The definitive advice is 'go for it'.
Tootle pip
Mike
