Video Introducing the new features of Logos 4.1

Logos 4.1 has not yet been officially launched, but it must be imminent. So I've continued my tradition of releasing a video showing the new features. Because there's so much that's new, it's a bit longer than normal, but I've tried to strike the right balance between detail and brevity.

The new features are:

Printing and Exporting
Smart Tags are back (for getting bible text into Microsoft Word)
Lectionary support in Passage Guide
Multiple Translation wheels in Bible Word Study
Mouse gestures
Minor tweaks to Passage Lists and Copy Location
Sentence Diagramming
More dictionaries added to the topic search (aka LCV)

Mark, I just wanted to let you know that you rock! [y] [:)]

Mark, Peace to you! And Joy!

One of the things I am thankful for is that our Gracious God desires our thanks and praise! Not only is it our duty -- but our joyful privilege -- to offer him our thanksgivings -- finally our reasonable service -- to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice.

It seems to me that is what you are doing, offering yourself to God and His People in joyful service in the Kingdom, even in the heat and burden of the day.

So, hopefully, you won't weary of your Fellow Forum Community members saying heart-felt Thank You's to you! *smile*

do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

^⁸ Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. ⁹ What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

Most excellent Mark!

Great job once again, Mark.

This is probably a dumb question, but will these updates be free for current 4.0 users?

Any idea when this will be made available (not as a beta)?

I'm watching it now, great job Mark!

Mark -

Have not watched this one yet, but have received great benefit from your earlier ones.

Thank you so much - a true ministry to the rest of us!

Mark, thank you again. I'm so glad you're a traditionalist! [:)]

It's hard to tell. I would have said "any day now" if you'd asked a week ago. But they are taking uncharacteristically long in moving on from RC2 to either RC3 or the "gold" release. So I'm wondering if maybe the bug count has been higher than anticipated and they've had to go back into damage-control mode for a while before they can resurface with another release candidate. Still, it can't be long now. I don't think they'll be adding any more feature enhancements at this point, just bug fixes.

Great job once again, Mark.

Thanks Mark! I can't wait for the new printing features - looks like a well implemented feature,

On the video, I noticed an item in the file menu called "Study Documents". I haven't seen this before. Is this a new feature too? What does it do?

Thanks again!!!! [Y][Y][Y]

Paul Strickert

Outstanding! Thank you, Mark.

Really good Mark...you're a natural teacher...

We really appreciate the work you put into these.

On the video, I noticed an item in the file menu called "Study Documents"

Study Documents were beta tested in the last beta's of L3 but their introduction was held off. Bob said they would be brought back in L4. Since they were never an official part of L3, they won't be part of the 'missing feature' set.

They are not in 4̣.1beta/RC. I've seen only two people so far having this item in their documents menu. The first one declined to answer when asked about it. Maybe they are doing some private beta testing on this particular feature, which would preclude them from discussing it. Of course the first person may have just missed the question. So if Mark or the other select people that do have it don't respond, don't feel ignored. Of course if they can shed some light that would be great.

Lectionary support in Passage Guide

Thanks Mark, excellent video and memory jogger as I had overlooked adding this item to my custom passage guide.

Really great work. Thanks Mark!

BTW, I want to know how to make a shortcut to clean up all windows?

I want to know how to make a shortcut to clean up all windows

Dear Nelson:

try typing "close all" without the quotes into the command bar.

It will then appear in the drop down window.

From there you should be able to drag it onto the short cut bar.

Ar.. Thanks Steve, it works now.. :-)

Great job, Mark (as always!). One question that you didn't cover in the video. You said that pretty much, if you see it in Logos 4 you can print it. Does that apply to highloghing as well. For instance, if I have a text highlighted with the precept palette, would the highlighting be printed as well as the text?

Between minute 21 and 22 Mark does mention that highlighting and visual filters will be printed but it wasn't covered extensively so you might have missed it.

God bless

Mark, Wow! Very grateful and looking forward to these new features so beautifully explained. And your voice quality and delightful accent enable me to follow very closely what you describe and demonstrate!

It is we who have the accent, not Mark! It is their language after all. [;)]

Great video, Thanks!!!

Can you select text and print or can you only print the whole article?

Mark Barnes

Can you select text and print or can you only print the whole article?

Yes, sorry, I should have mentioned that. I you select text prior to printing then it will default to print selected text only.

Fantastic video as usual! I have first dibs on you if you ever come to the U.S. - free room and board for a month at least. Thank you for all your hard work.
