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.
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…
Can we add functionality so that Logos can help me keep track of reading books in my print library? It probably would need a final page number field to be entered to confirm which edition or a book (even if it's just equally dividing raw page numbers).
Please improve navigation in the Auto Translation tool. When a book is translated in the right column, the scrolling of the texts is confusing and the point of the text we are reading is often lost. There could be buttons to "forward" and "backward" by paragraph or "N" set of words, while keeping the two texts (original…
Please improve the translation panel in the mobile app so that it shows all the translated text without having to open the panel in full screen. Currently the translation panel is very small and only shows a small part of the text. Not even when you open it in split tab can you see all the translated text. To see it, I…
