Biblical Places Hangs Up

Warren Hicks said:

I've been working through some of the new features and watched the tutorial on biblical places from a couple of days ago. The example with Antioch from the video worked great.  When loading another (Bethel North of Jerusalem) I've gotten into the dreaded spinning rainbow.

Any clues?

Observation: spinning beach ball can happen frequently when Mac lacks Free Memory.  Apple's Activity Monitor can show memory usage:

Screen shot shows 131.2 MB for Page Outs - Spinning Beach Ball displays while memory pages are written out to disk => slow.  When free memory (green) is low (small or non-existent slice) and page outs happening, good idea to close all applications and restart Mac.  After restart, open Logos 4 and Activity Monitor, then retry Biblical People.  By the way, Activity Monitor has option to show memory usage as dock icon:

After upgrading memory in recently purchased computer, Tools => Biblical Places fascinating:

Typed Bethel - then chose "Bethel (North of Jerusalem)" from list:

After "Bethel (North of Jerusalem)" displayed, hovered mouse over thumbnail in bottom row for image preview (lower left):

Noticed free memory reduce while Biblical Places generating images.

Keep Smiling [:)]

Observation: after restarting iMac, watched Logos 4 use 2.1o GB memory while slowing regenerating Biblical Places over 15 minutes.  While trying to replicate, opened and closed Biblical People (Abraham), then opened Biblical Places for Bethel => force quit.  For Logos developers after more replications, posted logs in http://community.logos.com/forums/p/16830/127337.aspx#127337 - noticed memory allocation errors in console messages.
