The main benefit is that it allows you to easily group results by dragging and dropping the various categories from the header.

This is a very user friendly and powerful way to aggregate search results into a lot of useful arrangements.

Taking your search for predestined in the ESV, for instance, returns 5 results in 5 verses. Using the datasheet view, one can quickly rearrange the results to find that they are all aorist tense, three are indicative mood and two are participles, four are active voice and one is passive.

For those who do a lot of work in original languages, this is very powerful.

I'm still downloading resources...but I'm trembling at the moment...this is good..

I really like the new colour text on the topics, interesting words

the new speech help is awsome,

thank you for the new improvements, I enjoy testing the new features that come out in the beta program

Since using version 4, I have learnt more about God's Word than I ever did when I was using version 3

please keep rolling out the improvements and new features awesome program

Ok, let me ask a pretty basic question.  Assume, for the sake of argument, that while I am aware of the disclaimer at the beginning of this thread, I fully intend to install Logos4aB1 on my main production machine.  (I create entire system image backups weekly, so even on a meltdown, I am in good shape).

What is the best way to "upgrade" to the beta?  Do I have to uninstall Logos 4.0?  Can I install over the top?  My main concern is:

• downloading resources over again
• Indexing everything over again from scratch.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks, Damian.  That is what I thought; I just wanted to get confirmation.

I've done a reinstall of L4 beta, redownloaded, and just finished indexing. I'm still getting nothing good from opening resources. I click a resource, and L4 crashes every time.

Philip, did you uninstall?

Philip,

I'm in the exact same situation.  I even did a complete uninstall of L4.  Now I'm in the midst of installing L4 again, well it's downloading resources anyway.  I did have it open earlier, and after clicking on something in my library: crash.

The beta still has the problem of the black title bar. I have not EVER heard this addressed by Logos. Logos do you know this is an issue and are you working on it?

I see the black outline every once in a while too.

I have the problem on Win 7 x64.

I installed Logos 4a beta1 over Logos 4 SR7. Now, I cannot start the program. It will always crash right after starting logos 4. I am running it on Windows 7 x64.

Hi,

Below is where the program crashed on my machine. It is encountering 'System.ArgumentNullException'in method Logos4.exe!LDLS4.PanelHistoryItem.PanelHistoryItem(). Hope this will help resolve the problem quicker. Thanks.

Me too on desktop, Win7 64bit

Richard Lyall said:

I can't open any resources without a crash.

Richard, did you upgrade or did you try to install under a new user?

Richard Lyall said:

Should I have done something differently?

Most of the people who have had problems, including me originally, had them when trying to install on a different user account.

My upgrade worked perfectly, so I'm a bit stumped.

Finally got around to installing it, and it works fine.

"HI Phillip" [:D]

Philip Spitzer said:

Nope. I'm using L4 Release.

I've got a bunch of out of office time slated today, and a sermon to build a skeleton for  - but if I manage to get it done I may make another attempt at installing in a separate account.  As for right now I intend to keep my Sr7 install nice and safe.

Russ Quinn said:

I haven't noticed anything obviously wrong with my beta install. It seems a bit more responsive. The Cited By and Datasheet are significant improvements.

Dittos to everything you just said - more responsive and it has yet to crash on me despite a few days test driving it.  I too enjoy the improvements.  Thanks again, Logos!

Just a quick question, is there a way for me to install the beta version on to a seperated folder on the same machine which already have logos 4 without creating a new user profile?

Having problem but not on the beta SR-7

Win7 64bit Intel graphics 4 series mobile,  Aero running.

Thanks for that, Mike. I bookmarked your post.

Very creative application of available tools.

You have increased my anticipation for the implementation of the Sermon Addin in the Q2.
