Just Downloaded Calvin Commentaries. Very Nice

What? I ordered the Calvin 500 collection months ago and have been looking forward to this day. I have been opening and closing my program all day but no download yet. Come on guys. I won't be able to get anything else done until my download begins.

Donn,

There are two Calvin releases scheduled for today. One is the massive Calvin 500 collection you are anticipating, the second option is just an upgrade only for those who already owned a licensed copy of Calvin's Commentaries for Logos.

The Commentary upgrade only is what Jacob got earlier today, methinks! The "biggie" package you're anxiously awaiting will of course include the new overhauled/updated commentaries as well!

You do. The new books are bound like most of the print books, so (for example) all the Catholic Epistles are one resource. In AGES, each bible book was a different resource. So your 19 resources replace the 46 AGES resources. Slightly naughty of Logos to describe them as 46 volumes, but they did the same with Bunyan if you remember.

It's here!  Woohoo!

Maybe Calvin can tell I am a Wesleyian, and he refuses to download.

The Ages Calvin's Commentaries had a problem in that a bunch of them did not show up in the passage guide because they did not have a verse selector pane. I am not going to buy the update unless it has this for every book of the bible that is typed into the passage guide. So does the new version do this?

My Logos4 just downloaded the new Calvin Commentaries (weird as my prepub doesn't show as going through yet, but I'll take it).

Ditto for me. All but the one edited by J. Haroutunian which downloaded this evening.

Edit: The commentaries downloaded early this morning even though my account still had them as under development. The one mentioned above downloaded 15 hours later. Kind of strange.

Everything downloaded for me last night EXCEPT the commentaries. I left my computer running when I went to bed to let L4 finish indexing and in the hopes of the commentaries downloading. However, this morning I still have the Ages commentaries--yellow and blue boxes intact--and not the new ones.

Update Resources did not find the new commentaries.

It would be interesting to know what's happening in the process.

I have gotten everything but the commentaries as well.

i'm still waiting too...no charge to my cc and no calvin.  with us being snowed in (20+ inches in New York City) figured i could work on my dissertation and review some of the letters between Luther and Calvin.  Guess that will have to wait now.

The Logos email also contained other options for getting the files manually (JPG, links not active):

That will only work for those with 3.0 installed and only for 3.0, not 4.0. I've posted the info on this email as misleading.

Note that right above the red box the line to download from the ftp site? It is on;y for the Haroutunian book and not the commentaries. Also in my note about this email.

Sorry, Mark, I certainly didn't mean to be misleading. I only have shell of Libronix3 installed from when I  installed Vol12 of the TJL to port into L4 after license sync. Haven't opened L3 since then. Unless I misunderstand you, you don't think I have access to the new set of Calvin commentaries in my L4?

After running the script attached to the email (I'll delete the post immediately hereafter and leave the question answering to you folks in the future, my apologies), I certainly do have both the old Ages (until I hide them later) and the upgraded Calvin Commentaries along with the Haroutunian volume.

The route you pointed to will not get the resources into 4.0 That is what is misleading about the email.

Logos 4 will (should) automatically download these resources for us without our doing anything. We only need to take action if we want these resources in 3.0.

Mark, doing absolutely nothing but executing the script file Logos attached to my billing invoice did get them into my Logos4 without ever opening my skeleton Libronix3. That is all I did to get the files in my Logos4. I reiterate, it was and is not my intention to ever mislead anyone and I've deleted the content of my earlier post to ensure that. So, be assured I'll not be responding to any further issues here since there are those of you far more acquainted with the intricacies of the software who've used it considerably longer than than the several years I have. Now, to close this out on my end...

I know exactly what I did to get the Calvin Commentary files and it was all I had to do - I know I never opened my Libronix 3 at any point before, during or since - I did not need to. Almost immediately after I executed the attached script and ran "update now" my Logos4 began downloading the files. The downloaded files installed flawlessly. Here they are mixed in with the not yet hidden older Ages Calvin commentaries:

Mark-

It may have just been coincidence/just a matter of timing, but repeatedly running "update now" did not cause the files to automatically download (as it has for earlier purchases/pre-pub releases into L4) until after I went back to the [erroneous] email instructions in the invoice. All I'd get before that was the dreaded "No Updates Available" ticker at the bottom right screen.

I wondered at the time if it hadn't just been a matter of unlocking the files with script ... something I'd never had to do with any other post-L4 install new purchases or pre-pub releases.
