… when the update involves a fix for Mac OS?
I've always wondered about that.
It does seem weird! But in my understanding: They share a lot of code, so it is easier for maintenance to keep them in sync. Otherwise, imagine the confusion on the forum when some users say they are on one version and others wonder why they can't access it. Or a fix to Mac might inadvertently create a Windows bug, so it needs to go out to be found.
It's a stupid practice that a bunch of people will come in to defend for no particularly good reason.
450MB x how many Windows users getting automatic updates/want to buy a book & are forced to update = a lot of bandwidth. Surely Logos pays something for that?
I'm no longer on a metered connection, but this really bugged me when I was.
There must be some more efficient way to do it. Just send a patch through for the version number, shouldn't be more than a few KB.
I suspect it isn't stupid, but I have often wondered the same. I write and maintain some software, but the package size is small, so it's easiest and least error-prone to just update everything. Besides, I don't have to fuss about which files were updated and which were not. So that makes sense to me. 450 Mb isn't awful for most of us these days. A few years back it was. Patching a few kb….not a good idea. An entire file might be ok, but so many things can go wrong doing it that way.
But these are just my random opinionated thoughts and don't answer the OP question.

Here are three things I cannot do in footnotes of a Logos book. I cannot highlight text. I think I supposed to be able to because right-clicking brings up the context menu. But clicking on a highlight choice does not change anything. I cannot anchor my note to the footnote text. The "Add note" menu choice is not available.…
Hey All - I didn't realize it until after preaching last week, but Sermon Editor within Logos is not bringing in/preserving the capitalized LORD format of Yahweh from the ESV. When I'm in Sermon Builder and I type in a reference and hit CMD+Enter, the text is pulled in correctly. However, if I hit TAB it looses it's…
Ok don't laugh… This may be a dumb question. I am no biblical scholar, I am a 30 yr college student who just wants to understand how to read and study her Bible better. So my question is in BDAG it states "extended Definitions are in bold roman" and "English formal equivalents are in bold italic/normal italic." Then goes…
There was just two letters of a Hebrew word I wanted to highlight, but even when I select the two letters, and I can see when I right click that only the two letters are selected, it nonetheless highlights the entire word. Is there a way to prevent this and only highlight a letter? Also, if I do figure this out, how does…
Hi, Last year I read through this devotional, For The Love of God Vol. 1. Every day would give a short summary, and the four chapters of the bible to be read that day. If I clicked on the first selection (say Gen 1) it would take me there to that reference in my preferred bible. At the end of that chapter was a link to the…
