… 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.
Another reason may be: users will often log in to a Mac and Windows, necessitating synchronisation.

Can you add bookmarks on mobile? I can't find a way to add a page from a book I'm reading to favorites. The whole bookmark system on logos is pretty disappointing. On desktop it's possible, but very clunky and not intuitive. On mobile I can't figure it out at all. How is an app that deals with books this bad at bookmarking?
Probably simple enough Q[s] for any Logos Master: What corpus of resources does Power Lookup [PL] display (and method and extent of enlarging it)? So, Google AI suggests "choose Power Lookup to see definitions from your dictionaries or references to that text." And a Logos article is similarly suggestive of a broad search…
Is there a way to use research assistant to ask questions of owned commentaries? If so, how?
I am pretty new to using the tools in Logos. I want to conduct a word search within a particular book of the Bible to see if there is any theme or repetition. What is the best tool and how do you use it? Thanks for helping this "old dog, learn new tricks." RW
MP Seminars has recently posted two training videos on using ratings to create Collections especially for use with the soon-to-be-released upgraded Search Assistant. Have you designed a methology for assigning ratings, beyond just "how much do I like this resource?" If so, please share. Over the years I've developed a…
