I only have a small main drive and wish to store Logos books on an external drive. If this possible? If so, how? Thanks
The most easy way is to do a complete install of Logos on an external SSD (make sure it is NTFS formatted). This solution is not officially supported by Logos (and the possible but more complex separation of program and resources is not supported either), but works without any issues.
You can do this using the steps below. This was discussed on this forum - you can search for "mklink"
Note that the Resources folder is not the only one which potentially takes a lot of space, e.g. the LibraryCatalog and LibraryIndex folders could also use significant space. You can move them using the same method as the Resources folder.
If you want to do a complete install of Logos on an external SSD, you can search this forum for "InstallDirectory", or follow these steps: 1) for clean installation, uninstall previous Logos via Add/Remove Programs, and delete folders %LocalAppData%\Logos %LocalAppData%\Faithlife It is possible to move the installation too, without uninstalling and reinstalling - see e.g.
2) run regedit (Windows+R regedit) 3) inside regedit, create folder (if it does not already exist): HKCU\Software\Logos4 4) inside the HKCU\Software\Logos4 folder, add (or change) string "InstallDirectory" with value "E:\Logos" (or whatever is your desired path for the Logos installation) 5) run Logos installer, and it will install to the new location
That's great. Thank you both for your help.

Not necessary. The Installer has a Custom option which allows you to input the desired location. Using Regedit to change any parameter of an existing installation should be avoided.

I concur. Simply say the installer to install at e.g. G.\ if that's the external drive where you want it to live.
If you are scared about completely uninstalling Logos first, you can install Verbum onto the external drive and see that it works flawlessly, then uninstall Logos on the internal drive when you feel good about it.
That's great thank you. I am happy to do a clean install as I am setting up on a new machine. thanks
When I do a search and results are populated, is there a way to add a highlight to all the hits at one time
For years I had the Collegeville Bible Commentary in my Logos library how do I get it back and added to the other commentaries?
May I know if there's a way to enable support for higher than 60hz refresh rates in Logos/Verbum app? I found scrolling Factbook, Search & Bible Word Study were stuttering. Bible & Commentary's panel were scrolling reasonably. Tested on 100hz monitor & ProMotion screens.
I know that I can "tab" after typing a reference and it will automatically populate the verse. I know I can also do "alt + return" and put it in paragraph form. Unfortunately, the paragraph form does not include the numbers for the verses, so I can't easily refer back to an individual verse within the bulk paragraph. Is…
often especially in older books, the author will quote something in another language, mostly Latin. When I use the Logos translate function, I want the ability to copy and paste this text, so I can make a note in the base text, so if I come back to this passage in the future, I can just hover over the note to read this…
