Please add the ability to "nest" notebooks into one another, or organise them into folders. It would make managing a large number of notebooks easier.
Requested Oct. 2020?
What's the point of requests if they sit for five years. "Hi can I get a change to this program in five years time please?" In five years I could make my own Bible software by myself. Trust me it's been done.
The purpose of requests is to ensure that Logos is aware of their users' thoughts on improvements. They don't give us feedback on a scale of "hell freezes over" to "when is the earliest we can slip this in". Making a request implies nothing about whether it fits within the larger view of the evolution of the product over time. Yes, you could write your own Bible software including in it some decent application of neural networks. At least one person on the forum has done so. But others of us would rather spend our time using it rather than writing it.
This is a bit tedious, but I do organize my notes by using Favorites tab. I create a folder called Notes Folders, then have subfolders of all my books of the Bible, I can then have subfolders under those. You can also create folders for certain subjects and subfolders within those. Then just drag each note under the folder or subfolder you wish for it to be under.
No doubt, having a folder function within notes would be better, but this works for now.
Ya. The real issue is if a company doesn't want to do something they should say so. Telling the person "no". Instead of a bunch of people waiting around hoping for something that's never going to happen.
If a company does decide to do something, five years is unacceptable. Five weeks is closer to a proper wait.
The "I can do this myself" is a jab because I know how big this company is. Recently Trump was talking about government workers working from home but not really working. This post being five years old reminded me of that. Are yOu wOrKiNG bRo? 👀
I'm lecturing the company on how to run the company, but if it takes five years to do something that should take five days, maybe someone should be lecturing them.
@ASUNDER
What credentials do you have in managing large computer apps i.e. why should I trust your judgment on the matter?
Because of what I said about results. If it takes five years to do something that should take five days, there is something wrong.
Having spent a career in maintaining and managing large computer applications, excuse me if am unwilling to believe that the length of time something would take to implement is the deciding element in the prioritization of requests.
When I'm in a restaurant, after waiting three hours for my food; going to the kitchen to have a little chat with the chef; he can try and tell me these things while I'm ringing his neck. 😅
Why ask suggestions? Is it so our grand children can benefit from the changes? 😣 But I answered my own query, after noticing the time frame of "Oct. 2020" and the somewhat recent format changes to Logos.
I've seen this same pattern with companies for the past twenty years. It's always the same thing, without deviation. It's not incompetence or laziness. It's always money. Every. Single. Time.
Oh look, Google, that says men can get pregnant, also has a DRM system that you have to use an approved program to use the content you paid for. In the most orwellien dystopian fashion humanly possible.
I wonder how long it took the FaithLife staff to put the locks on the ebook content that belongs to me? Probably a hundred times longer than it would have taken them to make the Table Of Contents auto collapse and follow.
Cause nothing says protecting copyright like auto-blocking comments on social media that don't align with the mainstream narratives, but also being entirely unable to take down the pirate websites…
When I make a suggestion, it is just that - a suggestion. I expect Logos to take the suggestion into account when they are planning to work on that section of code. I expect Logos to screen the suggestions, including mine, for what is compatible with the overall direction of the software, the number of users it would help, the number of users it would screw over, and the cost benefit of the suggestion. Because of my liturgy-lectionary orientation and my broad use of a variety of higher criticisms and minimal use of the grammatico-historical criticism, I would prioritize suggestions in a very different manner than Logos. To insure "minimal use of the grammatico-historical criticism" not be misunderstood, let me remind you that my graduate school advisor was a philologist educated in France who taught in Germany, England, and the US. Philology which is broader is within my wheelhouse.
yes! I am so glad to see other people pushing for this!
An anchor anchors your note to resources. One note can have many resources anchored to it. So if your reading that resource in the future, you will see a note icon wherever you have anchored a note to that resource. I use this with virtually every note I take.
Please folders for notes!
Please allow us to take notes and highlight in footnote text. Footnotes are some of the most important text in resources, and we should be able to do everything to footnote text that we can do to body text.
I’ve been using the mobile app for years, and the addition of the floating insights button is making it really hard to continue. When I’m reading a passage on my iPhone, my eyes are constantly drawn down to it. And please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think it added any functionality? I am conditioned to get to the…
The "Insights" indicator/button on a Bible window is too intrusive. There's no way to turn that off or move it. It can only OPEN or CLOSE the Insights window. On a smaller iPhone screen with two Bible panes, there are two such Insights buttons that I won't be using most of the time, and they take up a lot of space on the…
Would love to be able to insert a new line before all the conjunctions. Best I can do now is put them in [bold]. But having the ability to have each conjunction begin new line of text would be OFF THE CHARTS! Also, mobile support for visual filters would be cool.
There must be a better way to mark a prayer as "prayed" than those tiny 3 dots along the edge of the screen. I sometimes poke my screen multiple times in order to touch it just right so I can select that I have prayed the prayer.
