Just wondering .. Why 7.6 and 7.7 releases lacked new features? And even this 7.8 seems to be lacking too..
Is it because you guys are putting all the efforts in web app?
How about the major improvements for the Media?
Our Bible study products developers are pretty evenly distributed across desktop, web, mobile, and back-end services. So each area is getting a good amount of attention.
We have intentionally shifted to focus more on improving core areas of the software like performance, notes, etc.
Here are the things we've been working on or are next up in our queue:
What would you like to see us improve with the Media tool? Anything else you'd like to see us prioritize?
The "Brand new cross-platform Notes tool that will replace our existing document-centric model" is really exiting, the document centric model is unstandable from a technical perspective but it is incredibly user unfriendly and opaque.
The new model should really enhance the user experience, even if some people insist on using it to write novels in.
Have you seen the kind of notes that Turabian style allows in academic works? [;)]
The ability to insert a custom heading into the Library Prioritize list via right click Context menu.

1. A GUI for advanced search commands, of course! Here's how I imagine it... Something like a dropdown that allows you to choose from a list could be a simple and effective solution. Imagine a Magic Wand on the search panel, you click it, and a drop down appears, with fly out menus. The dropdown could be similar to the current left-hand panel of the Bible Browser, but adapted for the search panel (e.g. it would include search operators as well). The flyouts could allow you to type to filter in order to, for example, select the flyout for persons, then filter to find Peter. Once "Peter" was selected, the GUI would then simply insert the text <Person Peter> into the search panel wherever your cursor happened to be. Should be a simple solution that would solve the two most important difficulties in search right now: discovery of what exists, and creation of the search string.
2. "Knowledge management" for notes, highlighting, and clippings for the new notes system, along the lines of Citavi. Goal would be to greatly improve the experience of gathering and organizing notes, highlights, and clippings for sermons, as well as for authoring of papers, articles, or books.
YES, YES, YES. Several years ago there was a discussion about this. As DataSets and search functions have been added, some strings have gotten very complex. I often find myself going back to documentation because I cannot remember the correct syntax. Even then, it is often difficult to construct a search string that Logos will accept.

Especially allowing for "integration" of documents of Bible study notes not supported by Logos - semantic webs, concept maps, mind maps, pdf's, argument maps, time lines ...

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
I made a video to explain what I mean by "knowledge management" and how I think it could really help the software.
