Importing Verse lists from LDLS 3.x (PC) to Logos 4 Mac

Possible?  I've got a ton of verse lists (running in parallels) but the add from file doesn't work on the files in the verse list folder from windows (doesn't recognize the books of the Bible by number.)

Copy and paste from the verse list display window works for two, sometimes three verses, but the carriage returns after each verse reference crash the Mac version for more than three.  That means I am currently importing verses through this flow:

>LDLS 3.x running in Parallels

>Open verse list

>Change to "Reference only"

>Select all, copy, then paste in TextEdit or Word

>Find/Replace Carriage return with comma,space and delete last instance

>Select all, copy

>Logos 4 Mac, new passage list

>Add from clipboard

>Click on unnamed passage list title and type verse list title

>Repeat for dozens of verse lists

Please add import function?  Or just add script/function that interprets the verse list files in the My Documents/LDLS/VerseLists folder as readable in "Add verses from file" in the Mac version?

Thanks from a former Logos employee.  :)

    anyone have a better (easier) workflow for this while I wait for Logos to respond?

    Forgive me if I misunderstood the question. I am not completely familiar. But couldn't you just do an import in L4 in parallels and then let the Syncing move it to Mac? If I am not getting it, just ignore.

    penetrate more deeply into the knowledge of God’s Word in Holy Scripture
    is a lost day for me. I can only move forward with certainty upon the
    firm ground of the Word of God.”

    Thanks Dewayne,

    That's crossed my mind, but I don't have the hard drive space for Logos 4 PC to download all the books on an install (it's not currently installed under parallels,) in addition to the LDLS 3.x books already there, and the Logos 1.x Mac books, and the Logos 4 Mac books...you get the picture?

    Thanks for the input tho.  That might be my last resort.  :)

    For now, the supported solution is to import LDLS3 content -> Logos 4 Windows and sync it to Mac.
