Libronix 3

I am a lay pastor and radio evangelist who has been using Libronix version 3 for 17 years and it's been great! I have my own notes for roughly 80% of the bible. However, I received a windows update that broke Libronix. The company let me update to Libronix 10 for free, but I have 17 years of notes that I would like to import but, of course, they don't support that.

I am a computer programmer so I am computer savvy. I have also have the Version 3 note file (about 16 megabytes). I thought I read that the new Note format is encrypted sql lite. Any ideas how I could import my notes from Version 3 to Version 10?

I would sure appreciate any help! God bless!

Hi Darin

Welcome to the forums.

I'll bet there is somebody about who might help you. There are some pretty clever folk who hang out round here.

I take it that when you spoke about updating to version 10 you now mean Logos 10 (which is technically Logos 36.1.6)

There are not many who monitor the Libronix forum.

Might I suggest that you copy your post and put it in the main 'Desk Top App' forum where it will get greater traction.

Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible anymore. Logos dropped support for importing Libronix books 5 years ago. https://community.logos.com/forums/t/183225.aspx

What file format is the old notes file in? Maybe we could hack together a way to put it into a personal book file. BibleWorks notes can also be imported. If we could find someone with an old BibleWorks file, maybe we could match up the formatting. https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016299072-Import-BibleWorks-Notes

This is a long-shot, but it might work...

Install Logos 7.19 (download here). You have to make sure it doesn't automatically update to a newer version, so disable "Use Internet" in Program Settings and don't install any updates.
Run the "import notes" command (see https://wiki.logos.com/Importing_from_LDLS3) to import Libronix Notes as Logos 7 Notes Documents.
Install Logos 8.17 (download here). This should upgrade the Logos 7 Notes Documents to the Logos 8 Notes Tool format.
Install the latest version of Logos: https://www.logos.com/install. Turn Use Internet back on to sync your notes.

Documents, not books. Licenses and books from Libronix can be read in the current version of Logos.

Adding, even longer shot and checking Justin's idea.

I never took notes in either Libby or BW. But looks like they both used an xml coding, though organized differently (files, formats).

As above suggested, example files from both would be good (incl differing delimiters).

Oops, I knew that. Just being sloppy.

It's a proprietary XML/HTML-based format. I'm not aware of any tools out there that read it, but I haven't checked recently.
