Setting default note file
It appears that the file for where to save notes is simply alphabetical. This makes it challenging to be sure notes are in the right file when you are adding note after note and it's just another step to check.
I'd find it highly useful to have the following feature.
Option: Default Note File
Options: <Last Used> (just always populates the note file which whatever was last selected) and a list of note files to set a specific note file as the default.
Behaviors: Last Used simply keeps the last used note file. Take a note in "Notes 1", then next note you change to "Notes 2" and then on the third note the file is set to "Note 2"
Specific: Set to "Note 1", take a note and add to "Note 2". Next note defaults to be saved in "Note 1" file.
There may be a reason for the current behavior but I don't see any benefit (other than programming time, which is also important on the business side) to the end user over having an option to set a default note file.

This is where Layouts come in handy.
If you save your layout just before you exit (I use the name of the Bible book), when you come back to that book next time, you will have the proper Notes file, commentaries, panels, Bible versions, and so on. This saves me much time when I return.

Hi John
It appears that the file for where to save notes is simply alphabetical. This makes it challenging to be sure notes are in the right file when you are adding note after note and it's just another step to check.
On the iOS platform, there are currently two "options" for selecting where notes are placed - in a Palette-specific note document (so one linked to the palette you are using) or to the most recently used one. This is consistent with the options in L4 so - I assume - will be arriving on Android in a future release.
There have been suggestions similar to yours about providing greater flexibility - see for example http://community.logos.com/forums/p/50621/372996.aspx#372996 and http://community.logos.com/forums/p/50621/372996.aspx#372996 and I hope that some enhancements will be provided in the future. However, I haven't seen any commitment from Logos to delivering this.
Hope this helps

PS: Jack, John's question is about Android where the Layouts concept doesn't exist at the moment.

Currently, Android only uses the "Palette-specific" method. We will be adding the "most recently used" option, but it's just a matter of priority that will determine when we get to it.

Hi Drew
Thanks for the response.
Good to know it's coming, but appreciate that priorities dictate timing!
