Seems to run fine on my iMac, M1.

Thanks, that's all the encouragement I need. [:D]

Anyone else jumped on this train yet ???

You can now tile windows, not just split screen. So if you have a couple of floating windows and your display is large enough (mine is 27in), you can have up to 3 floating windows along with the main Logos window, much like you can do within Logos. I am just showing 2 floating windows here.

Nice! Very nice!

I've installed iOS and iPad OS, with no issues thus far. Haven't take the OS plunge yet. Gonna wait for a little more feedback from Logosians.

Myke, can you tell me if you can do word studies? I click it and it comes up and disappears in iPadOS.

I have the same issue on iPadOS 18 Beta 1. When I click on a word, the pop-up box comes up and immediately closes. I do not experience the same problem on iOS 18 Beta 1, that works just as expected. 

Just wondering if anyone has taken the plunge in MacOS- My big thing is OPEN COPY BIBLE VERSES in Pages. I love typing a verse ref in Pages, highlight, hit my key command and BINGO there it is!

The new Logos Beta for iPadOS 35.0.0(48) still has the same issue. As soon as you open it up, it immediately closes.

I've spent a number of hours in study and sermon prep in Sequoia without incident. *Edit: I have an M1 Macbook Pro* Your mileage may vary. I don't use Logos on iOS (iPhone or iPad), so I can't speak to issues there.

• Mac OS Version 15.0 Beta (24A5264n)

• Logos Bible Study 35.0 Beta 2 35.0.493

Gregory did you use the services in Pages for scripture paste? That is always the one that gets me. 

Hi Rino,

Scripture paste does work in Pages, but I had to add the shortcut to the Pages App Shortcut menu. If you don't know how to do that:

1) To go System Settings

2) Open Keyboard

3) Open Keyboard Shortcuts

4) Click on App Shortcuts

5) Click on +

6) Click on All Applications and choose Pages

7) For the Menu Title, type (or copy/paste) this exact text: Replace with Passage (Logos)

8) Click in the Keyboard Shortcut field and press your desired key combination (I use Command+Shift+E)

9) Click Done

You should now see the shortcut in the popup window:

Click Done again, and you should be all set. If it doesn't work immediately, go back and check that the Menu Title is exact, no extra spaces. 

If you have any issues, let me know, and I'll see if I can help you with it.

Interestingly, I'm not on the macOS beta but on the latest Logos desktop beta, which doesn't work for me. I've checked a few times to ensure I followed your instructions perfectly, and nada. I use the same keyboard shortcut as you, nothing.

 I’m sorry to hear that. I suppose something else could be intercepting the key combination, but I don’t know how to identify what it might be. 

I took the plunge and my service menu still works for scripture paste - thanks for that work Kevin! I know that this is an update, but besides Calendar and Reminders somewhat of a merge, not much happening yet. 

can any of y’all with a developer account tell me if Freeform is still folder-less or can you now organize your Boards by creating folders? thanks

Can someone tell me if Freeform in macOS 15 lets you create folders for your boards, or is it still one mass screen of your boards with no folders created by the user on the left hand side? thanks

I need to get a VM started. I am way behind this time.  

As of June 26, 2024:

To the reader: this is not a complaint but a report. I accept the risks of using two betas (Logos and MacOS), which is certain to create instabilities of one sort or another. Some users like standing on the edge of the cliff. Logos WILL certainly support MacOS 15, but they don't yet, and probably won't promise to support it until they do. 

Clicking on program or panel menus crashes Logos. I'm using the 4th June beta of Logos and MacOS Version 15.0 Beta (24A5279h). 

Right-click also causes a program crash. Items on the Application Toolbar appear to function properly. 

Key repeating is non-functional across MacOS 15.0 Beta (24A5279h), but I first discovered it while using Notes in Logos. This appears to be caused by the KeyCue application; disabling KeyCue resolved the issue.

As a reminder (to myself more than others), once you go "beta" with Logos, you are committed to the beta until the next stable release is released (and only then if you change your update channel to stable or default). 

I am experiencing the same thing.

For those keeping track, the menu crash bug still exists in Logos 35 Beta 5

The menu crash continues to take place in Logos 35 RC 1

The menu crash continues to take place in Sequoia beta 3

Thanks Greg! I did not even try that - so it is with me also. 

Also, when I right click to copy out of information panel to say copy just "definition" it will not work, you have to copy the entire column.

Rino 

Can also confirm same thing on Sequoia Beta 3. 

The menu crash continues to take place in Sequoia beta 3

This should be resolved when v36 Beta 1 ships.

I am using 34.1.0.0009. I upgraded to Sequoia and now Logos will not work properly. It crashes when I click on the ... menu or when I click on "Logos" in the main menu. This happens on both my Intel Mac (3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9), and my M2 MBP. Is there a newer beta version I can  download?

No, the current Logos betas are suffering the same issue. Unfortunately, your choices are to tough it out or reinstall Sonoma. 

Thanks for the prompt response. I suppose I can tough it out. The key elements that I need for message preparation are all working.

Betas are not for BABIES [:P]

I am surprised that so much does work. I don't know when I will stop this beta stuff - probably never.

The operative word being should. [:D]

I love being on the bleeding edge. If I remember, the early Sonoma betas made Logos virtually unusable, but with Ventura, Logos never seemed to notice anything was different. FWIW, the rest of my software (several Adobe apps, Scrivener, Office) are fine with Sequoia. 

Thanks for the prompt response. I suppose I can tough it out. The key elements that I need for message preparation are all working.

My pleasure! I spend about 20 hours a week in Logos. I use Command Option F to float windows, and Command Shift - and + for text sizes. I really miss being able to set up new link sets, but I have a saved layout with the ones I need. Keyboard Shortcuts are good things to know. 

My main sermon prep is for copy paste in Pages. I love how Logos inserts from Pages ala ONLINE BIBLE. That is what made me switch to Mac many years ago. 

Does your right click Word Study work? Like when you right click a word and the window opens. Mine opens but word study is not there unless they moved it.

ah, a kindred spirit! I loved Online Bible!

Right click works for word study but not spell check. 

Using Sequoia beta 3 and the latest beta of Logos (is it RC1?) - it launches and is usable. However, if you tap anything from the Menubar for the app it immediately crashes

Same problem here. Most of the features still work flawlessly. Clicking the "..." menu and the "Logos" menu instantly crash the program. I suppose there are workarounds. There always are. So far, it has not affected my ability to prepare sermons. I too am a beta junky. I can't resist playing with the latest toys.

I must say I have never floated a window before and still do not see the value of it, but I LOVE the shortcut. Thanks. I always resize my fonts using the "..." menu. Now that I can't do that I will definitely use the font size shortcut. Thanks for making my life just that much easier.

Jimmy

and still do not see the value of it,

It is useful for viewing resources that require a wider panel than you provide for in the layout e.g. some interactives (compare pericopes), clause visualization, regular panels when you want side panels open . . .

Right! I see that. That will be very helpful for my Bible reading time. Thanks.

Fixed in the new BETA no more crashing on menu [:)] 

Fixed in the new BETA no more crashing on menu  

Confirmed. It's nice to have them back.
