Mine alternates. If I open 4 resources, the open left/right/left/right. I have never paid attention to that before, so I do not know it is new.

The only thing that changed is where Bibles will open when the current layout is empty. Everything else remains the same.

I agree that this should be user-controlled. Users should have had the option long ago, but to change the default after so long is disconcerting for those who have adapted to the old default setting.

If it can't be made a setting might I suggest it change every five month.
The five month switch will serve to make sure that a different set of people are upset for most of half a year but over time everyone will get the chance to be upset on the month of their birthday.

I'm guessing this is a joke? Instead of upsetting one group, they'll upset everyone!
I like the new setting; with the way my mind works, I always found it illogical for the panel to open on the right. However, I can commiserate with those who preferred the old setting, or at least got used to it over time. I do wonder if Logos really can make positioning the panel an optional setting, because why make it go only one way or other if you can simply give us a choice in the first place?

The way I always worked in the physical world, I had my notes to the right because I am right-handed. my Bible in the center, and my reference books to my left. I consider the opening on the left to be the left-handers victory. I suppose they deserve consideration somewhere but why Logos? Perhaps, Verbum should open on the right; Logos on the left.

How in the world did you pick 5 months? LOL --- [8-|]

I'm surprised so many people click a book into an empty layout. I guess I'm a drag-dropper, almost always the library. So, I'd be ok with the proposed 5 month alternating approach.

This whole thing is a perfect example of confirmation bias.
The Logos folks only heard from those who didn't like where the bible opened...the folks who liked it (like me) never complained. Since all they heard were complaints, they assumed (there's the confirmation bias) that *no one* liked where the bible opened, so they switched it.
Now the other half of us get to complain. Mike Binks' joke thus turns out to be only in relation to time, not substance. [H]

If you make it an option, I would prefer a third option, to open neither on the left or right, but in the full window, and that way I can always drag it to one side or the other. This works better when using Logos with multiple windows.

Why open it full workspace and then drag it to where you would actually like to have it open? I drag it there immediately ... the only problem with that are entries in a shortcut folder which can't be dragged and only open on click

Yep ... that's been a long-standing problem. And the right-side menu items pop everywhere.

I find clicking is easier/more mindless than dragging, and I often forget to drag-to-open, plus as you said, some things (like sermons in radial view) are not draggable.
