Logos 4.0a SR-3 Release Notes

Thanks for the update....wonder why you decided to change the Logos icon...I liked the other one...

The click to start Logos icon...it used to look like the Logos logo...

The old icon was kind of cool, but it didn't really mean anything to me. What are those white dots? A series of ping-pong balls being juggled? What are the angled parts towards the bottom, a mountain, or an open book facing downward?

I like the new icon. It's clear what it means. Searching (magnifying glass) in the Bible (a cross).  Looks less geeky.

Also, they've moved away from the brand name "Libronix" back to what they've always been: "Logos" -- I'm sure someone from Logos could explain the reasoning behind that shift. But words with "x" in them were cool for a while, and maybe we've moved beyond that.

The new one is the one before I updated now I am showing this instead...perhaps is just on my computer...

Yes, that "new logo" is actually Windows' "I don't have an icon to use so I'll use the default." So, somehow Windows lost the icon. How? That's anyone's guess.

The instructions vary by Windows OS type, so if you Google "corrupt icon cache" and find info for your OS you will probably find a simple technique to correct the problem.  This happens sometimes based on a flaky install, crash, etc.  Most times it is just a file to delete, it gets regenerated, and then your icons are back.

I see 887.2 MB in the update now in progress (early 1/13/10) .  Are the three bugs referenced above all that is in this update?

Hi

How come it's a 1 GB download to fix 3 bugs!?!

Never mind. It's a recourse update as well.

Can I ask what is different when they are updated.

Hi Ben, here's the list of what resources were updated in tonight's update: http://community.logos.com/forums/t/9485.aspx

Logos has started giving us a heads up during the day when they're about to do one, so watch the forum and you'll see. Or if you happen to miss one, you can always go back to the forum and find out what it was. And if it annoys you to have the updates come unexpectedly when you might have preferred to wait, you can go into Tools | Program Settings and set "Automatically Download Updates" to "No" and you'll be given the option to download them at your own convenience.

I'm curious.  I just did an update now and it is telling me that no updates are available.  Dbl checked and I'm still SR-2.  Are you staggering the update for the server?

If it doesn't come through automatically, try running the installer again: http://downloads.logos.com/LBS4/LDLS4Installer/Logos4Setup.exe

I really appreciate the heads up from Logos on what is coming in the update.

Bradley: Have been building note files for fifteen years. Now i have no ability to import them in Logos 4. This is very frustrating. When is this capacity coming?

Rick Williams said:

Actually it did about four hours later and the others do come through automatically, I was just curious why it didn't when I did an "update now."  I assume it is a server load issue.  If every copy of L4 tried updating anywhere near the same time I would imagine that could be an issue. 

I am guessing here Rick, but if you are looking for resources, you should use "update resources" as well as "update now".

I would love to see something like this simple notice, or even just a link to the Forum, posted on the Logos Daily Home Page update.

I don't have much of an inclination to go back and forth through the Forums, but when a large update of a gig or two is undertaken automatically, I would like to have the option of seeing what tasks have actually been completed. I think Logos owe it to their users to keep us up to date re: this.

Possible?

Thanks
