Logos 4 Mac Alpha 5 Release Notes

As usual, the app should auto-update, but if you want to download the latest disk image you can grab it from http://downloads.logos.com/LBS4/LBS4MacInstaller/Logos4Mac.dmg

Alpha 5 Release Notes

Fixed several memory leaks in indexing.
Fixed a bug that could cause the app to crash when starting the indexer in certain circumstances.
Fixed a bug caused by “Too many open files” which would crash running passage guide/exegetical guide from the home page.
Fixed crash when running Bible Word Study from context menu.
Lemma pronunciations are available via Context menu (if you have the appropriate resources in your library)
Lemma Perseus lookup via Context menu
Context menu styling has been updated.
Bible search results display the first page of results
Support for copying text and images to the clipboard
Image printing support.
Fixed an issue where syncing did not work correctly on Mac which caused data to be duplicated on the server.

Alpha 5 will also need to rescan all of your resources the first time you run it to correct a bug in certain indexes. You will see “Preparing your library…” so please be patient.

Man, am I glad that I gave up on Alpha 1 indexing at all since I would have had to do it rescan my resources all over again!

I just noticed that Bible search results appears to be broken. We'll have a fix for this out in the morning.

should we hold off on the install of this Alpha due to indexing?

My alpha4 got stuck at 0% on the auto update download, but I was able to use the manual link to download a5. . . .

Ross, I just finished installing A5, and it didn't do a full re-index, just a partial one.

Ross, only took about 10 minutes to update the index after I installed Alpha 5 (I have over 2000 resources so evidently it's not a full index). I did get a message while it was "preparing my library" that Logos had closed unexpectedly. However, when I restarted Logos I did not notice any issues.

This release fixed my inability to look up anything in Judges! GREAT JOB! Keep up the good work - it is really starting to shape up! [<:o)]

How do I get a context menu?

A5 is MUCH more stable than the previous releases so far... I might actually use it to study this week.

I cannot believe how fast the search is. I'm reading Sailhamer's book on the Meaning of the Pentateuch, so I just did an "entire library search" = author:sailhamer.... and it searched my nearly 3k resources and found this... Wow. That really is powerful and fast.

Nice work Mac Team! Things are starting to fill out. Just noticed that I have access to Hymnals and Media! The Textual Apparatus also has a placeholder in EG.

BTW: any idea when we'll be able to use EG?

Blessings,

Thanks for posting a link for the download. My auto updater has been very glitchy. Sometimes it just sits there at 0% and other times it starts to download but then just disappears.

install went okay. Reindexing took place overnight in under 7 hours while my computer was in sleep mode.

I did notice some errors in the logs, so they are attached if you need them.

Michael,

We're adding sections to each of the guides as we can. No definite time frame, but when we make new stuff available, we'll put out new builds.

Hi Ross,

Which collection is this book of Sailhamer's in? All I can find is his commentary on Genesis? Thanks!

Joseph Fenton

Sorry Ross,

Grabbed the resource off of your posted pic. WTJ!

Joseph,

What commentary is that? Sailhamer's commentary on Genesis is in EBC and that is on pre-pub... is there another?

Dustin Combs

Wow, you programmers are doing a great job! L4 Mac is really starting to get some feet. Keep up the good work!

Hello,

First, great work on Logos 4. I've downloaded A5 and am getting an error from SyncManager. Log file is attached.

Your screen grab is from the Westminster Theological Journal. Other than that, Sailhamer's books are only in hard copy. Piper says that his book on the Pentateuch is so good that a person should sell their latest Piper and Driscoll book in order to purchase it.[:D]

I'm having the same issue that others have mentioned with the updates getting stuck at 0%. For days it was stuck at 0% of 2.66gb. Then all of a sudden it started downloading. Now its stuck at 0% of 1.66gb.

I could be wrong, but I can't seem to copy and paste from 5

Highlight the text - right click - select 'copy text'

R. Mansfield

https://community.logos.com/discussion/comment/48292#Comment_48292

On this subject, it might be worth noting--in case the programmers haven't caught this--that sometimes contextual clicking produces a window that is off the top of the screen, thus not allowing "copy" to be selected. Yet other times, simply re-clicking the same highlighted text repositions the window so that it can be used.

I'm pretty sure that copy/paste still is not functional in L4 Mac Alpha 5.

Don't let this stun you, then :-)

I also have some screen shots posted of copy and paste working from my Bibles. I have also tested it on a few other books and it works as advertised.

I can't seem to copy on my Mac version either...hmmmmm?
