External Links from other programs to Logos 3

If you have external links set up from another program to Logos v. 3, you might want to check them out because some of mine that I had set up now point to v. 4 and I am not sure I want that but it happened automatically.  And they do not work the same in every case.  FYI

    If you have external links set up from another program to Logos v. 3, you might want to check them out because some of mine that I had set up now point to v. 4 and I am not sure I want that but it happened automatically.  And they do not work the same in every case.  FYI

    That's a good point. Bob mentioned in a post that 3.x and 4.0 will be able to run on the same machine. Will there be a way to pick which one the links will open to?

    And they do not work the same in every case.


    We've programmed Logos 4 to take over some of the "simple" libronixdls: links that can be created (such as opening a Bible to a verse), but it should pass the complicated links on to LDLS3 (if it's installed). Can you give us some examples of links that don't work correctly in Logos 4?

    Bradley,

    These are all external links I made within BibleWorks 8 using their external links manager to open Dict. of Bibl. Imagery in LDLS3, KJV, ESV, and others.  I haven't tried them all since I had over a dozen.  Hope that helps.

    IOW, they all take me to version 4, now.  And because I am only running Beta 2 on my other computer, if you want me to check them all, I will but it will have to be later. [:D]

    We are happy to wait. You don't have to exhaustively check them all, but if you notice some links that are going to the wrong place, we would appreciate it if you could provide details on how the link is defined in the external links manager, so that we can ensure Logos 4 is compatible with BW. (We tried to test with every link we saw posted on their forums, but might have missed some.)

    Bradley,
