Footnotes and Scripture Reference Problems

David - Care to give a screen shot? Does the 2nd gen iPod run iOS 5?

I'll post some pics tonight or tomorrow. At work now without the touch.

No, the 2nd gen doesn't run iOS 5.

There are some issues with older iPod touches running the app. This may be related to that, but it would be good to see it.

I am using the latest 2.0.2 client (2.0.2.2368) and the latest NASB resource. I notice that the footnote always start with 1 if it is a separate verse. See the attached picture of Rom 1. Should they be 1 2 3 4 instead of 1 2 1 1?

Hi Leo

There was a discussion on this a couple of days ago, can't find it now!

The NASB on Logos 4 has footnotes starting at 1 at the beginning of each verse so it's not an iPad app issue.

I don't know what the paper version does.

Ok. Here are my screenshots:

Brothers We Are Not Professionals: Here the scripture reference links well

The Love of God Volume 2: Here the scripture references don't link at all

ESV: Here the footnotes don't link.

All of these were done while connected on wi-fi. The first and third book are downloaded as well.

David - I don't seem to be having the same issue on my iPhone 4s, so it could be hardware specific. Have you tried removing the books?

Yes. I deleted the entire app and reloaded it. The problem also occurs whether the book is downloaded or not.

Hi Graham, you are right. I found that thread later. http://community.logos.com/forums/t/44973.aspx

The paper version has the verse number in front of each inline footnote, and that solve the ambiguity issue, like

17 1 Or by 2 Or But he who is righteous by faith shall live

18 1 Or by

19 1 Or among

Hope there is something similar in Logos! [:)]

Hi Leo

Thanks for finding the thread and checking the paper copy.

While I can see the need is slightly reduced in Logos - as you can get the footnote popups inline - it could be useful when looking at the footnotes at the bottom of the page.

I have sent an email to Logos asking them for their views on this.

Graham

Logos has advised that as they don't own the publishing rights to this
resource, they don't have the authority to add or subtract from what
content is included. 

They will look at it but ultimately it would be up  to the publisher to
approve adding verse numbers in the footnote area.

Thanks, Logos, appreciate the quick response.

Graham

Kevin,

Great! I appreciate all the effort you guys put in, even for older devices. Also, as an update, my footnotes were working while connected to wi-fi today. However, I'm just checking them now, on airplane mode, and they're "off" once again.
