Where is the library stored in Logos 5 for Mac?

I want to move this data to a 1 gig usb drive.

Hod do I locate it?  All I can identify is the bible program itself.

Can I move the data to another drive?

    It would be ambitious to think that 1 GB would be adequate when the requirement for Logos 5 is 20GB free space, and a (removable?) USB drive would definitely hinder performance. So exactly which data are you thinking about?

    Note that Logos installs to /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Logos4 and the data within that folder is not designed to be installed/moved elsewhere.

    The Logos4 folder can be moved to another drive and linked for use. The Logos 4 and Logos 5 applications on OS X use the same path within your Library folder.  By default, OS X Lion and Mountain Lion have your Library folder hidden.   Caveat: if use a different partition than boot partition for Logos4 location, the partition needs to be mounted before launching Logos.  Also prudent to keep partition name the same since changing a volume name breaks symbolic links.

    Logos 4 and Logos 5 are resource intensive applications that noticeably benefit from fast storage (along with fast processor, graphics, and adequate RAM).  Personally have partitioned hard disks so Logos4 folder is in the fastest partition.  Suggest checking size of Logos4 folder, which can be substantially larger than 1 GB since the folder includes resource files and indexes plus more.

    Thanks,

    I erred, it's a .5 Terabyte drive (sleepy).

    So, I can use it to hold whatever is best to put on that separate drive.

    I need the 20 gigs back for photos, on the MacBook air to tie into my photo stream.

    How would I do it?

    Thanks,

    John

    I think you will regret putting Logos on a USB drive. I would put photos and other media files on the external drive as access requirements are not as stringent as Logos'.  Here's a link though -->  http://wiki.logos.com/Quick_Installation_onto_Multiple_Macs
