Some issues with Sermon Builder in build 55 on iPad

Earlier today I was working on a sermon when sitting in a coffee shop (at the time I was working offline)

And I was reminded of how much Logos 10 has made this type of work so much better - so thanks again for that!

However, I noticed that when I added a Heading 1 item, a slide was not generated

Similarly when i added a Bible Passage (on a blank line), the passage was entered correctly into the sermon document but no slide was generated.

And the Bible card formatting options (Block paragraphs, fully formatted, etc) don't seem to do anything on mobile

I'm now back online but these issues still persist. Sometimes a slide is generated when entering a Heading 1 item but normally it isn't.

I don't think this is a beta issue as the same problems exist in the current stable version, but I thought it best to flag it here.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

    weekly bump in hopes additional attention will lead to an answer

    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."

    Graham,

    I just got around to testing this.  Sorry for the delay.

    On my iPad app, each time when I created a Heading 1 item, a slide was always generated as expected when I was connected to the internet.  However, when I turned my wifi off, I also experienced the behavior you mentioned and no slide was created.  My scripture reference slides didn't generate a slide either when in an offline state.  I'll have an internal discussion about this on how we can provide a better experience here.  Even if there is some sort of issue where we can't generate them while offline for whatever reason on mobile, I feel like once back online and the document is synced, the slides should then appear but they currently don't.  I'll dig deeper on this.

    You are also correct in that the "block paragraphs, fully formatted, etc." buttons aren't currently doing anything on the mobile app.  I suspect this has something to do with the lack of slide editing and therefore it's not functioning as expected due to that.  Regardless, let me talk to the development team about this one as it's an undesirable experience that should be improved on one way or another.

    Thanks Austin

    That's really helpful - glad you were able to reproduce what I was describing

    I'll be interested to hear what the development team are able to make of it!

    Graham
