Note didn't save

This morning I lost an hour's worth of work in a note. I was typing up sermon notes and thoughts while studying a passage, then closed the note. When I opened it a few minutes later to add another thought, it had about 30% of the content that was there when I closed it.

Is this a known issue with Logos on Mac? It extremely frustrating and undercuts the whole point of using Logos as a sermon study tool.

Sorry to hear about your missing note and the frustration. The developers are working very hard on it.

I have been using and testing the note and clipping on the beta version, and I must say on my personal opinion that they are not ready to handle a simple task. There are moments the functions do not obey to my simple intention i.e. bullet listings, drag and moving items around etc.

Furthermore, I find that the note is not really user friendly especially when I use side-by-side with a bible. I have to open up the drop box and click "add to the note" in order to add that particular verse into the note. Only in the note I can only add personal note to it. Though it is not a big issue, but I find too many steps, and with some of the bug glitches, it makes it very difficult to control. My suggestion, I would like to see where I can type notes directly on the bible (or all other resources), just like scribbling notes on the actual bible, and have it automatically transfers to the note. Just a thought.

Not sure what you mean here. Could you explain? What "drop box"? Are you right-clicking in the Bible text? I am confused. [:S]

Yes, the "drop box" is the box that appeared after the "right-click" on the bible text. (right click only found in the PC, not in mac... well...I think it still call right-click then [:D] )

It is still right-click.

I don't know of any application that would work this way. It sounds like a programming nightmare. How would you control which Note File received the scribbling?

Notes in L4 Mac are still very much a work in progress.

Keep Smiling 4 Jesus :)

Wonder if Notes background could be transparent - allow drag and drop placement over bible.

Apple's terminal has a setting for transparency - so terminal window can be in front of an item and allow typing. Perhaps Notes could be in a floating panel with a transparent panel background - could be in front of other Logos windows for note taking.

Windows also has some transparency options - perhaps a slider for transparency could be added on both platforms (similar to font sizing), default to 100 % background color (no transparency).

Keep Smiling [:)]

Though I am not a programmer, but I believe it can be done if there is an idea and a desire to create a great software. Nothing is

Currently, we have to open another window, place them side-by-side, through a couple of clicks, scroll up and down through all the notes in order to
