FEEDBACK WANTED: New Resource Toolbar on Desktop

I think this is a great and efficient use of space. It is readily available and visible making it easy to use.

Yes, I like it as it portrays more information but I do miss the left and right history keys as I was just getting very used to using them in all my resources but especially my Bibles

wow thanks, I was looking for them by the history key and did not see them. Thank you. That is why we are a community. Blessings to you my friend. Alan

Barely used it, but I love it so far. We really needed more toolbars in Logos. The more exposed the commands, the better, imo. I used to search every commentary for a passage and the toolbar with all the commentaries for that book of the Bible saves a lot of time. Especially the language features on the side and all.

Maybe some 'right click option' opening on the 'parallel books', but the option already on the new tab is a great help.

The 'view' option could use some resizing on the panels as which tabs and layout is used and their sizes. For example: the original language tabs on the left are occupy less space and the commentaries more, which makes sense. But it I would like to rearrange it to make it more proportional, or one resource tabs bigger, or even change where each one opens (left, center or right), maybe that could be done from the toolbar view option. Or maybe the 'layout' button could adapt to the task being performed.

I'm loving the toolbars. It's sorely needed on tablets, but fantastic for the PC.

I like the new toolbar but I do think Logos needs to at a minimum add hotkey shortcuts to Interlinears, Visual Filters, and other menu items that used to be one-click on/off. A customizable toolbar would be another good option that has been mentioned but I do not think the code to add it to the program is trivial. I thought Mark had mentioned adding hotkeys at one point - I was hoping it was going to be part of today's rollout.

I find this to be more clicks than I was using for the features I access on a regular basis. Intellinear was one click, now multiple, parallel now multiple, visual filters now multiple. I fail to understand how this makes it better. 

I appreciate the "look" of the buttons being tied to function, but the, "Quick: Everything you need is just 1 or 2 clicks away, instead of several clicks," doesn't;t seem to be accurate to me.

I always appreciate the desire and to improve but sometimes change for the sake of change is not better. Keep the button look, go back to the way it was so I click once not multiple times.

Thanks for allowing input,

Justin

Hello, I just started using the new dynamic toolbar. Overall, it is a good step forward. However, when I hide the secondary toolbar to retrieve valuable screen space, it keeps coming back every time I shut down and restart Logos. Am I doing something wrong? If not, is this a bug? Or can it become a new feature, either optional or standardized? If I've hidden the secondary toolbar in a resource (e.g., my preferred Bible) I don't want to see it again unless I tell Logos to bring it back.

Thanks for considering.

I find it interesting that in order to turn on/off a feature in the new toolbar that I can't simply one click it to turn it on or off.  When clicking a feature to turn it on or off, the entire dropdown opens which seems to defeat the purpose of having a dropdown arrow in the same box.

This results in a user having to make two clicks to simply turn on/off a feature... and it makes the dropdown arrow a mute point since you get the same dropdown result whether you click the arrow or not.

For example, if I want to turn on the "Emphasize" feature under "Formatting," in the picture below, I should be able to just click on "Emphasize" it to turn it on.  Instead, when I click "Emphasize," not the dropdown arrow, I still get the dropdown anyway, and then have to click the toggle button in the dropdown to turn it on, and then have to click "Emphasize" again to close the dropdown. That's actually three clicks to just turn a feature on or off in the toolbar.

Many apps I've used over the years which have a dropdown arrow, it operates as a separate function to display more options if the user desires to make additional changes.  As a career systems programmer for almost 40 years, this is what I've found most common and what many customers have grown accustomed to.  It's just my personal opinion, but I think continuing this same standard as many other software apps that use dropdowns, not only would it be one less confusing area, but would also reduce the actions required by a user who simply wants turn a feature on or off.

Depending on what I'm working on, I've been turning the "Factbook Tags" on/off more often, but I find it a bit inefficient that it takes 3 clicks and dropdown pop-up that I don't want to see every time.

Anyway... Just my opinion. :-) Thanks for your consideration. 

I was a little frustrated in not seeing the reverse interlinear, but I eventually figured it out. I can see the advantages.  

We're also looking seriously into other items, but I don't want to get out over my skis.

Hopefully this includes an option between the Dynamic and Classic Toolbars.... I'd like to give Logos a chance to impress with the LFL, but have absolutely no desire for this Toolbar at this time. I have to make sure I keep a back-up copy of V36 just in case at some point it is forced on non-subscribers too.
