Retain window settings instead of per-Bible preferences when changing Bibles

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I would prefer that view settings were retained by the window rather than by individual book.

When I am reading a Bible, and change to a different Bible using the arrow keys, it would be preferable if the next Bible is shown with the same settings (excepting impossibilities like missing interlinear, etc.), so that the displayed text of the next Bible is shown in the same format as the previous Bible (like moving to the next record in a database) instead of restoring the settings that were used the last time I opened that Bible.

For example, last time I used a Bible, I might've been diving deep with an interlinear, but today I am looking for surface-level text comparison.

Also, I recently discovered the useful Text Comparison tool. The Interlinear mode is neat when it (rarely) works (unfortunately, it usually says "There are no results for this reference in the selected books.").

Hi Jordan — I can tell you why the "Interlinear" mode fails to show at times. The Interlinear is only provided for a small sub-set of fairly main-stream bibles and it only works on those bibles. My frustration is that it does not work on the NIV 2011 Anglicised Translation. Workarounds can usually be found by using a close translation in a nearby panel.

Bible Project Graphic Overviews
Last year during a training session, I noticed @Mark Barnes (Logos) had Bible Project graphics on his demonstration screen. I believe he mentioned they were in a german version of Logos (could be wrong there) but regardless they were present in his ecosystem but are NOT for english/american customers. I made a suggestion…
Allow users to type in the sermon builder on the IOS Mobile app.
Perhaps there is a way to do this, but I have looked and not been able to find it. I would love to be able to actually work on my sermons from my IOS phone. I can see what I have typed on my computer, but that is it, I cannot type new things. I would love this feature. If I could leave my PC and take up my composition on…
Sort Smart Bible Searches
It would be nice to be able to sort smart Bible searches. I like that I can save them as a passage list and then sort them, but one less step would be ideal. I came across a theme in Ezekiel 20 of God's name and I wanted to see how many times this idea is in Ezekiel. Smart Bible search was perfect for this!
Allow us to override Logos bias by attaching n - using the creation stories of Genesis as an example
Because of its reference to image, I prefer to use the Genesis 1 reference for the creation of mankind rather than Genesis 2. This is especially important to me in the current political environment as Genesis 1 has an androgynous Adam rather than a male Adam. However, Logos not only makes Genesis 2 the primary text, it…
Bible Study Builder more text options
Can we get more text options in Bible Study Builder, similar to Sermon builder. Bullets and Numbers, change of text color. Can we also get the Blockquote and illustration function.
