Bug? New created notes not editable.

Hi,

hope this is the right way to address this, I am new to Logos. Currently I am copying and pasting my notes from another Software into Logos manually and now several times at a certain point if I create a new note, the note appears in the right notebook, but if I click on it to insert my text, focus jumps to another note, totally unrelated to this, leaving me unable to edit the newly created note.

This behavior continues until I completely close Logos and re- open it again. As I do a lot regarding notes at the moment, this is very annoying :-(Does anyone have an idea what the problem is?

I am using Logos 6 in German on a MacBook Pro.

Thanks a lot,

Patrick

Welcome [:D]

Support has diagnostic logging utility => https://www.logos.com/support/logos6/mac/report-problem

Anticipate developers would appreciate log files and sample when a newly created note is not editable.

Hey Patrick

by the Way if you have your Notes in Word, create a Personal Book That is much faster ;-)

Hi all,

thanks a lot for the warm welcome! I think I'll try to get the logfiles - as it stated that this is to be done when Logos itself crashes (what it does not - the program stays responsive) and seemed to be complicated with software to be installed etc. I did not do this so far. Hope it helps. Logos is also quite slow on my mac, by far not as responsive as other reader programs - maybe there is another problem?

I found out in the meantime that, when you create a fake note after the faulty one, and delete that one you can edit the original (faulty) one afterwards. Strange.

Sascha, If I make my notes a personal book, I can't replicate them on my iPad as far as I know, right? :-((( Furthermore my current notes are within OliveTree and they have no way to export my own notes - the main reason why I switched to Logos. Now I can copy them only one by one from OliveTree until they are finally "free" :-D

Please describe your MacBook Pro hardware ? CPU, Memory, Storage

Logos is a resource intensive application with many more capabilities than other reader programs since was designed for Bible Study.

Thankful for Solid State Disk (SSD) and PCIe flash storage notably improving Logos responsiveness.

If I make my notes a personal book, I can't replicate them on my iPad as far as I know, right

Currently mobile apps by Faithlife cannot sync personal books.

One idea is iPad split screen with cloud drive (iCloud, Google Drive,...) document for editing, which can be downloaded as docx followed by updating personal book in Logos on MacBook Pro.

Keep Smiling [:)]

It is a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina, Core i5 2,8 GHz, 16GB Memory. Logos installed on main SSD. Should be enough, I guess? :-)

Still if I open up a single annotation by clicking on the icon in the text, it appears to be empty for 1-2 seconds until the text appears. I have closed all other applications, also rebooted - behavior is the same. It works but feels "slow" especially if you are searching for something and want to go swiftly over more than one note at a time.

I have no such problems with other programs, be it e-mail, readers or whatever. But I do not want to complain as long as it works, I was just wondering if this might have something to do with the issue above ... :-D

Sorry to hear about the difficulties trying to copy and paste notes into Logos. I attempted to replicate the behavior you are describing but I have been unsuccessful. Would you please post logs from this event? (Mac logging) With the logs I can get this forwarded on to a developer to look into the problem further.
