OK. I'll trust Bradley since he said 'really.' And it isn't Tuesday yet, either.
It is true... downloading and installing now... no "punking" with Bradley

Done, now downloading 4.4 Mb of resource updates. Updated and rebooted. Everything seems nice and snappy. Off to start working down the list
...[:$]
From the wiki:
Indexer checks contents of downloaded files for corruption; the download will be retried on failure
Good news. Hope this reduces indexer crashes greatly.
Installed just fine. Glad to see the version number didn't contain 666 [:)]

Reading plan fix is greatly appreaciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I can set my Bible reading plan to go through the NT 2x "consecutively" for each time through the OT. THANKS!!!
Downloaded and installed perfectly (and quickly I might add). [:)]
Forgive my stupidity, but where do I enter "update now" to begin downloading?
TIA
Command bar
Is it just me, or does this build seem noticeably snappier?
Hmmmmmm, while I updated with no problem on my desktop, I can't update at all on the laptop. When typing "Update Now" in the command bar, it says "No updates available".
Thanks for all the hard work for us! It's looking better & better...
Flawless & quick download & install.
Any hints what the resource download afterwards was?
Thanks again!

ME TOO - see my thread - YET mine did download. WHY?

QUOTE: Had not noticed this before. When I clicked on "Update Now" totrigger Beta 4 dowload (as usual) the small blue logo almostimmediately appeared in lower right tray.
BUT the following message appeared on my Logos 4 screen "No Updates Available No Updates Were Found"
I do not remember the incorrect messge before.
ON the other hand, I am used to Bradley giving us a link that "usually" totally reloads the beta.exe
Is it that I have not had the software open before when downloading a beta update?
The download went fine and I got the expected "install now" button and THEN the (former) "re-configure" message appeared.
Thanks, Bradley. Smooth, swift download/install, seems perkier.
Thanks Bradley, the Home Page bug is definitely fixed, thank you [:)] to the entire development team. It does seem snappier in speed. I had a 34.4 MB download. Went smoothly on the install and was up and running quickly. I did have a crash - not a show stopper - when flipping between my 4 different layouts on the shortcut bar. L4 restarted just fine no hiccups.
I do have to ask why does the window resize when switching between layouts? it's not a show stopper, but certainly isn't as elegant as it could be. I know this was a topic of conversation when the original Beta was going on, but I would expect at somepoint not to have this occuring. Or am I missing something that L4 is required to behave in this manner?
Thanks again for the responsiveness.
I do have to ask why does the window resize when switching between layouts?
On this topic, I've had instances when I tried to switch layouts, and L4 did its resize / go black / resize again thing, but didn't finish its job. The L4 window ended up split between my two monitors (dual monitor setup), with the window's top bar (the one you drag to move the window around) with the window minimize/maximize/close buttons all invisible. I have custom chrome set to no, so the topmost visible elements were the half-height Home, Library, and Search buttons with the menu bar. I couldn't move the window; it's just stuck there. Closing L4 and restarting would display the window in the exact position.
It took another layout change to set it back to the normal position (maximized on one of the monitors). Not a huge problem, not sure if this was a beta-only issue, and doesn't always happen, but just thought I should report this to Logos staff.

The ability to copy a bible verse after a bible or speed search is still broken. The "copy" function only copies address text, but not the verse. In fact, I would expect to see the whole "bible tab" appear with a right click after a bible search.
Thanks Bradley (et al @ Logos) I've downloaded and installed.
Time to study.
Install went smoothly and quickly. Love the changes I have seen thus far. Switching between LAYOUTS is MUCH faster (between 40-50%?) Overall I am very impressed with the speed and overall functionality. [:D]

We're aware of this window sizing problem with switching layouts (and the general slowness in doing so). Both problems are somewhat complicated to fix, and--while annoying--not critically impacting the functionality of the program, so we've put off resolving these issues to a future release.
I am currently running Logos 4.0a SR-3 (4.01.3.5180). If I type Update Now I get No Updates Available, I occasionally see a hard disk light flicker suggesting that something is happening. Can someone tell me what to look for to see if the update is actual;ly downloading? Also is there a setting required to allow Beta updates to flow into my environment? And one last thing - how big is the Beta 7 version?
RegardsDave
