Resource Reading Plan
I was able to set up a Bible Reading Plan with ease, but cannot set up a Resource Reading Plan. When I select File/New/Reading Plan, I get Bible Reading Plan (2) etc. Anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Welcome [:D]
Suggest click on File menu - then right click (or ctrl click) on Reading Plan - pop-up menu - click delete.

You're not doing anything wrong. Logos just picks a default name for your new reading plan which is the name of your previous plan plus a number in parentheses to distinguish it from the previous one. But you can rename it to anything you like. Just click on the tiny pencil icon next to the title (when you hover over it you'll see a popup that says "Edit this text"), and then type in the name you want to call it and press Enter.
The fact that the title says "Bible" in it has nothing to do with whether it's a reading plan for a Bible or a different resource. You make that determination by what you select in the resource dropdown, which shows you a menu of all your library contents to choose from when you click on it:

L4 will keep renaming your plan until you are finished editing the plan. See wiki Reading Plan (Basics)

Thank you all for your suggestions. They have cleared up in my mind what is suppose to happen. However, I am still having a problem. I am not getting the drop down screen when I click on the title after READ and therefore cannot select a resource to set up a reading plan. All other drop downs work as expected. Any other ideas or help would be welcomed.

Does your Library show any resources in it?

What title is currently showing there, and does it have a dotted underline below it, and is it blue -- indicating it should be clickable? Can you show us a screenshot?
One possibility is that it's just taking a long time to display your whole library which is what is supposed to be shown in that dropdown, and you're not waiting long enough before clicking somewhere else. On my machine it takes about 5 seconds. It should be quicker, but some areas of Logos are not quite optimized well enough yet.

See if this works. I am new at this.

Rosie: Finally figured out how to upload screenshot of my reading plan screen. It's in the post listed at 6:33p.m. in this forum. Hope this helps.

I think I might have figured out what's happening. Is the dropdown menu coming down but only has one item in it -- the Bible you've already got selected (New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update)? If so, it's because you typed in something into the Find box that matched that resource, and now you need to clear that find string by clicking the little X to the right:
It might look slightly different on your system as you're running the Mac version.
If the dropdown menu is not even coming down at all when you click on "The New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update" then I'm not sure what could be going on. You will need Mac folks to help you with it. I'm not one, though I do peruse the Mac forums from time to time looking for questions that might be cross-platform.

John,
First thing I notice is that your display scaling is HUGE.
I'll bet if you run the following command from terminal, the reading plan will work:
defaults write com.logos.Logos_Bible_Software_4 AppleDisplayScaleFactor 1That will set your program scaling back to 100%. It'll make things smaller in the UI, but it will also make buttons and menus work more reliably.
I should mention that Apple does not fully support resolution independent display scaling and recommends that it only be used as a developer feature. For the most part, our app renders pretty well with display scaling turned on, but there are some glitches as you've just discovered that make it not feasible for using all the features.

I just set my display scaling to 2 and I can confirm that the popup menu doesn't work in reading plans. If you want to leave your display scaling large, you can set it back to 1 via the command above then create your reading plan, then set it back to 2 as a workaround.

Scaling was the problem. Took me awhile to figure out how to use terminal. This was my first time. But thanks a lot. I have been missing this option and now will enjoy Logos 4 even more. Thanks to all that helped.

John, glad that worked. Hopefully Apple will fix the display scaling issues with 10.7 so that we can turn on that feature. Other than a few menus, the rest of the app looks and works nicely when scaled up.

Please tell me you didn't mean that!? You have to wait for Apple, and they won't fix it in 10.6, but only in 10.7?? I've never bought an upgrade between computers, and I only just got this one. It'll be 3-4-5 years before I get the next. And I really really really need bigger fonts, before these tiny ones have destroyed my eyesight completely.

For many Mac OS X upgrades, Apple charged $ 129 (US). From Leopard (10.5) to Snow Leopard (10.6), Apple reduced price to $ 29 (US) - experienced Mac OS X 10.6 upgrade doing as Apple promised: noticeably faster along with freeing up disk space (since PowerPC support removed).
With Mac Store, noticed Apple dropped prices on their software - wondering what Apple plans for Lion upgrade pricing ?

General text zooming for more than resources & library is on the list with or without 10.7.
