4.0b Beta 7 (4.02.3.6040) available

While trying to install the update I get this error.

Error writing to file:

Logos will not start up now.

Hi Bradley, thanks for the new beta and custom highlighting styles! I know that's going to make a lot of people happy.

I'm wondering why some of the "known issues" have been around for several beta releases without getting fixed. Can we expect these to be fixed in a future 4.0b beta or is the fix so complex that it will have to wait for 4.0c? This one in particular has been around since 4.0b Beta 3 and is pretty unpleasant:

• Pasting text into a note loses all paragraph formatting

Ran it in Administrator mode and that solved my problem. =]

Or, to put it another way, "...emboldened type on steroids sprinkled from Genesis to...". [:)]

I really like the way the "search while typing" works now - Much much better.

I have experimented with exporting Collections with the new menu option, but there are still some formatting bugs.   When I export to html, there are no line breaks between entries.  When I export to rtf and import to Word, I am asked to select the encoding that will make my document readable, and none of the options seems to remove the formatting at the top ({\rtf1\ansi{\fonttbl{\f0\froman Times New Roman;}}{\stylesheet {\snext0 Normal;}}\fet0\uc1) and throughout the document.   Export to txt seems to work all right.

RE Creating Custom Highlighter Palettes

Creating Custom Palettes and adding Custom Styles works just fine, no bugs thus far. One request.

Can we have an option to Copy only added to the Inductive (and all) Palette options? No edit or delete option on the standard L4 Highlighter Palettes for obvious potential mini-disaster reasons. But a Copy option would save starting from scratch when all we need/want to do is make a few additions or subtractions to an existing Palette - EDIT: to a RENAMED COPY of an existing Palette - especially the Inductive Palette ... assuming it wouldn't require a time-consuming volume of coding, of course.

Thanks!

Thanks Bradley and team for the quick fix on the NA27 and BHS bug....

And thanks for the screenshot in the release notes.

Loving the direction of Highlighting....Great job!

Any plans to fix the bug that stops the text to speech function when the arrow keys are pressed?

Should I not be seeing something here about creating my own highlights or do I have to do something before that option appears?

In the highlighting tool experiment with right clicks... it's in those menu options.

Yes, I had this problem with the RTF format too.  Like it's missing something that tells Word it's an RTF file.

The bibliography is also not sorted.  I'm hoping this is just a first cut at this feature.

Could you propose a filename for the export, which would be the name of the collection (extension depending on what filetype is chosen in the dropdown), so we don't have to type it in again? We could add "Bibliography" to it ourselves or something if we want, but the default should be the collection name. Otherwise, great feature. Thanks for adding this!

Mark, you have to click on the line where you want the border to appear. I would

Is it just me or are the betas getting progressively slower.  Menus are taking longer to come up than 4.0a.  The response time for typing is worse too.

Yep! noticing the same thing - slower less responsive. I am assuming it is the addition of new features that have not yet been optimized.

each beta has been snappier/smoother

Same here... consistently faster each build...

I have always had issues (on my P4 one core) with the scroll bar. I've never timed these things, but I "feel" that it is "slower" lately.

My #1 is running great, but #2 is having some performance issues- a little sluggish.

So we are all agreed...there is absolutely no discerable pattern

I never notice it when I don't have L4 open. [:D]

I'd just like to agree with everyone here.  My L4 is slugglish and slow, except when it's not.  During those times it's snappy and responsive.

I did.  I figured a smiley face would take away from it's comedic value.  [:D]

Good thought David - that would definately produce these sorts of symptoms.  Alas, I have plenty. I monitor that and my system with Logos running is taking about 60% of the available memory.
