Bible always opens on the right side of my screen.

I am wondering if there is a bug, or a misunderstanding. Whenever I open my Bible resource (by double clicking it) it opens on the right side.

    Currently that is a feature. I suspect it may change soon and appear on the left.  Hang in there.

    This is currently the default setting for clicking on the favorite / preferred Bible icon when opening the first Bible. After that, opening a second Bible by clicking will open it on the open space on the left side.

    Instead of clicking, one can click and drag the Bible to the left side of the workspace.

    I was thinking about this issue just an hour ago.

    I was wondering how many 'features' FL refused to 'fix', with Logos 15th anniversary coming up (2009-2024).

    First off, was the right-side Bible default!

    Then, opening new resources 'somewhere'. I have 6 windows; seems to enjoy window 4 a lot. I find its random opening locations later.

    The list is extensive ... but the 20th anniversary is just around the corner ... no need to go crazy fixing them.

    The beta release of Logos 32 has changed this behaviour.

    From the release notes: 

    • When no other panels are open, the first panel to open will be placed on the left hand side.

    So, assuming this continues through to the stable release, you should see this changed functionality in six weeks or so.

    For me the interesting part is: If you make the pane bigger to full to the left side. You aren't able to put it back. The arrow is gone. 

    Does this happen in V32 too. Only vice versa?

    I don't quite understand - I can move left, move right, go full-window, back to half-window ... I'm on Win 11.

    Fabian is saying that the splitter handle goes away if you make the panel the full width of the window. You have to get it back to a smaller sized panel by dragging the tab to reposition the panel or by using one of the templates at the top of the Layouts menu.

    There are no plans to change that behavior.

    I guess all of us who appreciated the open-on-the-right behavior can start complaining next. [^o)]

    I don't like the open on the right behavior personally.  What I did to overcome it is to put an icon of my bible on the sidebar and then drag the icon to the left side of the screen and it opens on the left. It's a work around, but it works for me. [8-|]

    I've gotten used to the open-on-the right I hate to see it change. Because I am right-handed, in the days of dead-tree researching I had my paper/cards on the right, my Bible, then on my left and above (and sometimes a bit on the floor) all my other books.

    I liked the open-on-the-right behavior too. I keep a Search tab or two on the left, and Guides and such, but Bibles and other books on the right.

    Now I guess I'll just have to drag to open where I want it, which you've always been able to do, even when the default was on the left. You type the first few letters or words of the title of the book you want to open in the "Passage or Topic" box and then when you see the matched title in the dropdown menu, instead of hitting Enter or clicking on the title, you click and drag it to where you want it to open.
