L3 nostalgia

I realise this is the L4 forum, but I thought it might be fun to reminisce. I just found a post I wrote on another forum back in February 2007.

I'm still struggling to get to grips with all the options in Libronix 3.
It's amazing. I'm still tinkering with my resource management and
search options. I haven't even started building proper keylinks yet.

It looks quite quaint now. Does anyone else have any fond memories of L3? I remember being dazzled by all the options.

I remember spending LOTS of time getting things "straight and ready to go" after a fresh install of L3 or even when it forgot (on it's own) what my settings were!

I don't miss it...

There were things I liked about L3, but now that I am fairly familiar with L4, I've not looked backwards. Indeed, I deleted L3 from my lap-top, but am keeping it on my desk-top (just in case).

Oh yes, I agree with you there. Then I figured out how to backup my settings, and life improved a lot.

I have a number of fond memories of 3 - diagraming, better and faster notes function that could actually keep up with typing, customization.

What I miss the most is the ability to modify what shows up in the mousover popup window!!!!! The info pane helps, but it is so much slower that the popup which i never look at as it is rarely of any use.

sigh.

Diagramming is almost here, from having beta tested diagramming in 4.1, it is an improvement on L3 in terms of the overall user experience.

I still have it, for installing Libronix products and helping out users who have questions about it when I've forgotten how things worked.

The only thing I miss about it that isn't in L4 yet (and I still hope they'll put it in -- I think they must have overlooked my request or put it way down in the priority list) is the ability to select and copy text from anywhere in the About Resource screen (the Info panel in L4). In L4, the only text that's selectable are the tags, the Support Info, and (in the Library info panel only) the title and short title.

I also miss the speed of the UI (everything but search, that is; I'm much happier with the speed of search in L4), though even it wasn't as fast as I'd like. I want blazingly fast speed all the way around. I am such a quick thinker and power user of all my software that slow UIs get in my way and drag me down.

I also miss that too. It drives me crazy that I can't copy that info.

We've been promised this is going to get better but this is a great reason for keeping L3 installed for now.

I love what 4 is enabling me to do. However, I do miss the ability to install without the need of the Internet. I want to be able to backup my notes, books, highlights, etc myself along with my license file and then reinstall it if I was in a position where I had no Internet. I don't like having to rely on the Internet to reinstall. If the system breaks, then I can't reinstall. Just me.

Wow, this is a great thread. We should direct Logos to it and ask them to update their "Missing Features" page. It might take us all the way to the end of 2012 to get all of this (or whatever of it Logos is willing to implement) in L4... [:(] But it's nice to have it all listed in one place (up until now it was only scattered around a dozen or more Suggestions threads).

I REALLY appreciate the speed of L4's searching, the wonderful maps features, and a host of other new items. BUT, I really miss (almost desparately)

the ability to almost instantaneously flip/toggle through various parallel resources (or, even bringing up the list of parallel resources which can take an unbelievable amount of time in L4) . The absence of this ability has caused me to neglect checking/reading many of my Bible translations.
the ability to change text sizes (whether full screen or individual resource) as rapidly as I can hit a keystroke

It may sound a bit "trite," but I miss the nice music when L3 opens. The Logos Theme!

Just a brief hint of that on L4, but not nearly enough for me.

How many times over the years I would smile as I headed into my Biblical Studies using L3 at the sound of the music. O.K.! I'm ready to concentrate now on what I am endeavouring, I thought.

Wish that L4 would restore the music, giving those who don't appreciate the Logos Theme the opportunity to opt out. Would please me greatly!

Peace to you!

Thank you, but I don't think I was clear. I am not wanting to *use* Logos 4 without internet, I am wanting to backup books, notes, licenses, etc and reinstall *without* the Internet. Jonathan said that he has done this. I am looking for this information.

I miss the speed of L3. I love L4, but L3 was definitely faster. And, I am awaiting PBB and some other things mentioned above. L4 has a much better presentation and I think I get more out of it, but the speed can be annoying. It seems to have improved since Day One. [Oh yes, I ordered the right when it was released and it was SLOW.] Maybe I have gotten used to it. What I think has happened, though, is that I do not use the GO feature any more or as little as possible because it is so tedious. But, perhaps this is meant to teach me patience. I do need that... One day I might be able to purchase a better computer- probably in time for L5, which will require 24GB RAM and a 40TB hard drive and of course a 64GB DDR9 video card with nitrogen cooling. But, until then, I am fine. I use it and appreciate it.

Perhaps this helps: Quick Installation onto multiple computers. Just copy the folder as part way through the instructions and do the second half later to restore.
