Certainly all of the features that the Windows version has - especailly Visual Filters and the Add-On's.....I really enjoy the Mac interface......one thing I don't like is all the windows are separate windows versus integrated like on the PC.....

I like the separate windows. I just don't like the fact that stacked windows give no indication as to what is under them. I would like to see tabs like the Windows version has. Before anyone thinks that the Mac OS has a feature I don't know about, I make extensive use of Expose and Spaces.

As an afterthought: I like the way Accordance handles multiple windows.

YES!!! I like the workspace and tabs that Accordance has and wished that Logos had something like that for its Mac version.

Syntax search would be great... I have to switch back to my PC to currently do any powerful searches.

I think the tabs were part of the power tools in windows application and I would also like to see this feature as well as highliting and notes options

To be honest... Because I really don't understand how 'these things' work when you try and put things i a thread, so I inadvertently started the second thread.

I love the separate windows, makes it great when using expose. I can quickly see all of my Logos pages that are currently open.

That's true, though one of my annoyances about this is that when I am doing research, I usually have a whack of other windows open and so they all get co-mingled together. This is particularly bad if I have a tonne of Logos resources open all at once, so it gets very unwieldy.

Parallel Resource Associations and Tabs on stacked windows would eliminate much of the clutter. When I discovered PRAs in the Windows version, I dramatically reduced the number of windows I have open in a given workspace.

Tabs.

I would never use a Broswer without tabs and I need them in Mac Logos too.

So for now I use Libronix in Parallels until tabs arrive.

Revised answer: a version that works properly with Snow Leopard!!!

Donnie Vick

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/8350#Comment_8350

I would like to be able to diagram sentences in the next Logos for Mac and I would also like the Language add-ins that are in the PC version.

Ralph Schwarz

All of the above, but I would most like to see an appearance of the Englishmans's Concordance. If it's available on the Mac version I haven't run across it yet, and it is missed.

Next would be all the add-ins the PC version has.

If you have Snow Leopard, you can use Dock Expose to only bring up all of your Libronix windows in Expose

This is true and is one of the features I am looking forward to when I upgrade to Snow Leopard!

Travis Arnold

(1) The Search Analysis option (specifically, the ability to search a Bible for an English word then organize all of the occurrences according to their corresponding Hebrew or Greek words, Strong's number, lemmas, etc.).

(2) A Speed Search that lists out the occurrences by verse instead of by chapter. (The whole point is to easily survey the context of every occurrence of that word, not the number of times it happens to occur in a given chapter.)

(3) Hebrew Strong's numbers in the ESV OT Reverse Interlinear (for the purpose of hover/pop-up capability).

(4) The beloved Keylink Summary option.

Ryan Schatz

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/9379#Comment_9379

Travis has some good ideas. Also, I'd like to see syntax highlighting and the ability to underline and highlight text.

Without notes, verse lists would be useful too.

Mike S.

Trying to keep the list a little shorter to identify priorities:
1. Visual Highlighting
2. Printing

You can also just have Libronix in its own Space. With the new feature of Expose for Spaces, using them is now more convenient.

Z. Stewart MacLean

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/12291#Comment_12291

That's wat I do... run Libronix in it's own window. And with Expose it works well without the need for tabs (although I do miss the tabs for they are quicker to view).

Still, the #1 things the MAC version needs is a syntax search

#2 - highlighting

Ernesto Ochoa

All above and Sermon File Addin too.

Please Sermon File Addin !!!!!

Preferred Resource Associations.

Preferred Resource Associations.

If I am limited to one desired feature, Resource Associations gets my vote.

An option right in the menu bar to update the software, instead of going to the logos website to upgrade would also be nice.

Mike Strawn

I would also like to see a feature to link to an external resource such as a PDF File, URL, E-Book etc. This could include Sermon Notes.

Michael Kares

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/19508#Comment_19508

The ability to read PBB files

Scott Fulks

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/8734#Comment_8734

An export to read books on Amazon's Kindle or other stand-alone reader.

This would be perfect for all the non-reference books available on Libronix. The number one reason I only buy reference books for Libronix is that this feature is missing.

Ryan Schatz

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/19634#Comment_19634

As I was reading a new book I purchased (in the Windows version because it has visual markup capabilities), I was thinking that a very nice-to-have feature would be a way to import all the markup I have done in my windows library to my mac library. I sure hope there is some way to do this.... at least eventually.

Philana Crouch

I definitely need the Notes, Highlighting, and would like the copy (especially the copy verses) function, and if the footnoting function could work in Pages. I like to do research in the Old Testament, and since Office for Mac doesn't handle Hebrew that well, I use Pages 09, but then Pages doesn't work with footnoting.

Please include these features, as well a the visual filters and stacked tabs. I would also like PBB to work in Logos for Mac.

Thanks

A Great Feature would be the capability to Synchronize your Windows to the Same Passage. If you have 3-4 Windows open - rather than enter the passage in each window - if there were a function that would make all current windows go to John 1 for instance. Otherwise - this is current;y a manual process.

If I am understanding what you are describing correctly, this function is already available. In the top of your resource window the fifth icon from the left is the "Set Link" icon (see below, it is the icon with two boxes and a "X" in the middle). All windows that you want to sync to the same passage just select the same "Set Link Letter". i.e. "A". You can also use the other letters to syncronise other windows as well to other passages

I would like to see some gearing of the scroll bars and/ or the scroll wheel so that big resources don't stray so quickly from the section you are looking at.

I would also like a drag bar at the top of the pop up menus so that when you are using extended monitors and the pop ups appear partly on both monitors you can drag the window to one screen or the other.

Mike Binks

'pop up menus' should read 'pop up windows'

Scott,

I was told by a Logos salesman in October that they would *never* have the resources available for Kindle or any other book reader. I thought that was an amazing statement based on the growing popularity of book readers.

My feature vote is rather simple: I want the author's name ALWAYS listed with the resource. When I do a search from the home page, I have trouble remembering that the Bible Exposition Commentary, for example, is Warren Wiersbe's and the Expositional Commentary is James Montgomery Boice.

Does anyone know a hack that would allow me to rename my resources so I could include this information?

bryan jay

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/48043#Comment_48043

One other thing, this is resource specific...

I would like my John Piper sermon collection to be more searchable. On the Desiring God website, the sermons can be searched by theme or by sermon text, but in the Logos collection, if you type a reference, you will pull up every sermon that mentions the text, and not just the sermons that have that reference as the principal text.

Actually the functionality of this resource is so limited when compared to the website, I'm thinking of asking for my money back.
