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.
I want to suggest a new feature within Notes. It would be great to better organize my notes to make them easier to find and look over. I think the easiest way to do this would be having Folders that you can organize your notes into.
For example, I take notes for Seminary, for preaching, for daily Bible reading, for small groups, and for just random things I learn.
It would be great to have a "School" folder to put all my class notebooks into, and a Preaching folder to put all my preaching notes into.
We could even go a step further, and have subfolders, which I think I would utilize as well. This could be done somewhat similar to how OneNote does their organization.
Let me know what you think.
Hello, you may know this already and find it unsatisfactory, but here goes 😊: You can tag your notes based on the categories you are describing. Then, at any time, you can filter to show just those notes tagged for a particular category. That is how I conveniently organize and manage my 10,000 (and growing) set of notes.
I do like the tagging system, but I would still prefer more organization on top of that. .
The tagging system allows for notes to be in multiple groups at the same time; folders and subfolders limit a note to a single place. What additional organization are you trying for? Perhaps we can help you get what you want.
hey, thanks for your reply. I do like the tagging system, but it is more work than what I’m asking for. I make a lot of notes, and some are pretty fast notes with little information. I don’t like having to tag each note and highlight with the category I want it to go in. It would be far more efficient to have it simply be in the folder.
I use tags for more specific items that this note covers that I would want to easily find later when doing on related story, but that’s different from what I’m saying.
I’m sorry, I’m not sure what you mean by this.
the link takes you to my post.
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!
It's essentially asking for a "OneNote" type of experience. It's the single biggest reason I haven't fully ported off using OneNote for Bible study. I use Logos for everything else but that notebook structure in OneNote is hard to replace with the current Logos notebook functionality.
I think it would be a great help to enable users to create folders in the notes tool, by which we can group multiple notebooks together. Having another layer of organization in the notes tool would be very helpful. For me right now, I feel I have to choose between having notebooks that are huge and almost not helpful, or having way too many notebooks to sort through with no way to organize them.
Passage lists have a lot of potential, but it presently feels more like a beta feature or at least a feature that is too simple. Other feature additions that would be super helpful would be adding the ability to add a note to the list as a whole and freedom to add notes to individual passages (also perhaps a title and…
Make it easier to insert a verse/passage at a precise place in the passage list instead of automatically adding it to the bottom of the list. Allow me to right-click on a passage already in the passage list and click "insert passage", similar to the "insert heading" option. The passage then gets inserted above the…
It is great being able to create a passage list around a particular topic. It would be more helpful if after making a passage list, you are able to add comments under each individual passage so that you can commment/have a note explaining how that passage relates to the topic.
I would like to be able to have the words of scripture pronounced in Hebrew and Greek as they are on my computer. Any idea when that will be available? MF Sabo
Craig is releasing a 5 volume Systematic Philosophical Theology series. He's already released the first two. I'd love to purchase these on Logos.
