[resolvedBUG: URL Locations in Personal Books are not accurate
logosres:rosebibleatlas;ref=Page.p_30;off=350
Here is an example of a Link to a Map that I incorporated in a Personal Book. It appears that the link is ignoring the code at the end (off=350) and just jumping to the beginning of the page. Can anyone confirm this bug and also let me know if it will be fixed.

Personal Book Builder supports "high precision" links if they include both an "off" and a "ctx" parameter. The link is missing the latter, which is why it's not working.
It seems that it's difficult to generate those links in Logos 6; as a workaround, start selecting text below the image, then extend the selection to cover the image. When you copy location to clipboard, you should get:
logosres:rosebibleatlas;ref=Page.p_30;off=350;ctx=_(Num_13:25$E2$80$9314:45).$0A~____________________
Does that link work for you in PBB?

Helpful to know about that workaround for now.
But is it difficult to make PBB support "high precision" links with only an off parameter? I mean, that offset uniquely determines a location in that resource, and yet the link jumps to the beginning of the page rather than that offset.
I haven't seen any problems reported from creating links in text.
That is only if you select text and copy location Wiki which generates the ctx parameter.
Dear Bradley, I know you guys are super busy over there, but could you please weigh in on my problem at this posting:

The off= parameter does not work for me without the ctx= parameter. Is this a bug or am I doing it incorrectly?
Best,
James

As far as I know, my earlier post on this thread is still accurate:
Personal Book Builder supports "high precision" links if they include both an "off" and a "ctx" parameter.
Both parameters are required.
Dear Bradley, thanks for your reply, on a Sunday no less. Regarding this thread, I took from your other comment that the off= should work without the ctx= when no image was involved:
[quote]FWIW, the "workaround" was only because of the image; I haven't seen any problems reported from creating links in text.
Yes, I can reproduce this in 6.2 Beta 2. I'm not an employee of Faithlife, so I can't let you know if it will be fixed, but I should think they will agree it is not correct behavior. Whether they'll prioritize it for fixing any time soon is anyone's guess.
Thanks Rosie for confirming this. Can I hear from anyone at Faithlife?
