Visual Filters disappeared in 4.1 beta 9

I have created a visual filter for greek verbs. Last week after the upgrade to 8, I turned the sympathetic highlighting off and the visual filter off. This afternoon working with Beta 8, I could turn the visual filter on for the Greek text, but the sympathetic highlighting did not work. After a while the visual filter for the Greek text was no longer visable.

After upgrading to 4.1 Beta 9 the visual filter still doesn't work though it is still in the program and appears functional, but neither its application to any greek text nor the sympathetic highlighting work.

All of those features work for me in the ESV ie. VF for verbs and sympathetic highlighting from LGNTI to ESV and vice-versa.

What are your specifics?

Robert, is Logos still in the middle of indexing, or was it when you reported that problem? Visual Filters are temporarily non-functional until indexing is completed. So this is expected behavior. Just wait until the blue Logos icon in your tray disappears. You can hover your mouse over it to see what percentage complete it is so far. You should only need to wait a significant amount of time for indexing if you've recently downloaded some new resources. Just an upgrade to a new version of the engine generally won't prompt a long re-index, unless something in the index format has changed internally.

Rosie, thanks, but I checked that. Indexing was complete. I set up a number of different filters--yellow for present tense, blue for aorist, brown for imperfect, etc. Set this up 5 months ago. No problems. Suddenly today, bubkis.

I've tried simply highlighting a verse in the NAS to see if the sympathetic highlighting would work with NAS and NA27k and nothing.

Hmm, visual filters work fine for me in NAS and NA27, as does sympathetic hilighting. Might be time to post your log files. Enable diagnostic logging and reproduce this problem in a brief Logos session in which you do nothing else, then close Logos, and post your log files. Read more about diagnostic logging here and how to post your log files here.

Robert ~ We'll look at your log. Thank you.

Edit: Development is requesting screenshots of the Visual Filter document and of the Visual Filter drop-down in the resource. The visual filter does not appear in the resource, correct? Is it just the one that does not appear, or any that you create?

Melissa,

I tried creating another visual filter yesterday and nothing shows up.

Neither does sympathetic highlighting. When I have NAS and ESV open side by side, if I drag and select a line of text or a verse in one, the other does become gray, but when I select the highlight marker, it only shows up in the text I am marking.

I will try to get some screen shots and post them in the next post.

I cannot get a screen shot of the drop down menu because every time I click to use the snippet tool the drop down menu closes.

Here is a screen shot of the visual filter

Here is a picture of the visual filter drop down menu in the resource.

Boy do I feel dumb! I just realized when looking at the screen shot that there was a scroll bar on the drop down and the visual filter is at the bottom, and it was unchecked. When I checked it, it applied.

However, sympathetic highlighting is still not working. When I select a verse in the ESV it does show as also selected in the NAS, but when I click a highlight, it only applies in the ESV. Or vice versa.

If I understand you correctly, you are expecting that when you apply highlighting (from Tools > Highlighting) to one resource, the corresponding text will be automatically highlighted in the same style in the other resource?

If so, that's not what "sympathetic highlighting" was designed to do. Sympathetic highlighting (which may be confusingly named, now that we have Tools > Highlighting) is only a temporary highlight that simply shows what is selected in another panel.
