The result of Save as Passage List in the Parallel Passages section for Mt 24:1 is less than helpful:-
A few passages dominate the important ones.
Dave, all of the references found in the section are merged together to prevent duplicated/overlapping references. If this wasn't done, then your passage list for the above would look something like:
To me, this seems redundant and not useful.

There shouldn't be duplicate references but overlapping allows for quick editing if necessary e.g.
It is meaningless when all the Mt references are summed as Mt 24-25, and all the Mk references are summed as Mk 13:1-37.

This is an interesting question. I created a passage list like this very recently (using the clipboard), and had my passage list dominated by two very large passages (Gen 1:1-2:15, and Gen 1:1-2:7, from memory). I deleted them as they were both unhelpful. If you had merged beforehand, I would have lost all the smaller passages (Gen 1:1-2, Gen 1:6-7, etc.), which is not what I would have wanted.
I don't really have a solution to this problem, other than to confirm Dave's point that generally, I don't want long passages in my passage list, I prefer to have the smaller chunks.
Thanks for the feedback on this feature. Our designers are taking a look at this issue and we will likely be making some changes to the behavior in a future beta.
I strongly agree with Mark and Dave on this.
This will be fixed in 5.2 Beta 2.
It is an elegant solution, virtually duplicating the layout of Parallel Passages, but unwieldy for (my) practical use where a simple list of the unique passages would have sufficed.
Agreed. Copy > New Passage List > Add from clipboard > Sort gives a much more useful list.
Except I don't understand why it sorts
I would have expected the opposite order, with successively longer passages, not successively shorter ones. I would only expect successively shorter ones if the list was something like Jn 1:1-3; Jn 1:2-3; Jn 1:3.
Also, it took me quite a bit of time to figure out how to find the Save as Passage List option. I don't think I'm the only one who instinctively right-click among the references, not on the section heading. If Dave and the release notes hadn't been so adamant that it should be possible, I would have assumed that there was no right-click menu available. But I still tried several other things before it occurred to me to try the heading. And compared to most users, I'm supposed to be pretty Logos literate...[8-|]
And I never knew I could insert headings in a PL. Nice! How long has that been there without me knowing about it?
Since the beginning (about 2yrs on Mac).
about 2yrs on Mac
Oops...[:)][:$] I must have missed some release notes at some stage.
