8.7 SR-2 (8.7.0.0042) is now available

Thank you for the context menu changes!  I've only taken a peek at them so far, but I really appreciate the direction taken with the changes.  [:)]

It looks as if Logos 8 has become a lot slower? And do these menus not bring a lot of overkill?

I select the just the word formalism in a commentary on Ecclesiastes 4:17: 

My apologies for the Dutch version, but almost nothing of the information seems to be relevant.

My concern is that I will not be able to use my Logos in a simple way. As far as I know I have switched the changes off. Is it possible to undo update 8.7?

Blessings,

Piet

Well I will have to test it out more. One thing what takes longer is to get to the meaning of Hebrew and Greek words, but this is maybe what I think now. It was possible to go more directly to the preferred dictionaries.

Now I have to take the following steps:

And select Studie van Bijbelwoorden

And then choose one of the dictionaries:

And then I come to the lemma of echad.

I would appreciate if Logos would go for simplification.

But may be everything has to do with my ignorance.

Blessings,

Piet

Thank you for your reaction. A point to be made is in my opinion still "simplification". The menus look too detailed to me. There may be a relationship between אֶחָד and Friendship, but would it not be better if a person is interested in this relationship would be left to find out in some intermediate steps?

Thank you for your attention!

Blessings,

Dear Philana,

Thank you for the release notice. I am very thankful for Logos!

With that said, I would strongly recommend AGAINST uninstalling a premium anti-virus fo a single software application to use. That is not good advice, even temporarily. Who leaves their house doors wide open for anybody to ransack the house even if you have a video camera at the doors (Windows Defender is better at watching than blocking)? Rather, you may consider other options, such as creating an exception rule for Logos or temporarily disabling antivirus during upgrade or use of Logos and then re-enabling when ready. Yes, Windows Defender is free, but it not to be relied on. There are even free antiviruses with realtime protection, but again, you get what you pay for (or don't).

If anyone needs a great antivirus or antiransomware protection or remote computer support, feel free to contact me.

Blessings!

As an IT professional and consistenly removing infections from users with Windows Defender (as recently as 2 days ago), free A/V's, and/or no A/V installed, I defer to experience over an article. It was rather interesting reading however. Thank you for the mention. Blessings sir

In general I really like the changes to the context menu.  Perhaps I am just not seeing it amidst the plethora of new functionality but I can't seem to find the "open in a new tab" feature that I have come to rely on.  Please let me know if this feature has been dropped.

Thank you

Logos 8.7 SR2: great move by Logos. 

Now, again, when are we going to get "Bookmarks"?

Does this needs a congressional meeting in Washington??

Either way, thank you for the upgrades...

Windows Defender was just rated one of the best antivirus software for Windows by an independent group: https://www.techspot.com/news/81396-windows-defender-ranked-joint-best-antivirus-program.html

A former Mozilla engineer recommends uninstalling any antivirus software except Microsoft's: https://robert.ocallahan.org/2017/01/disable-your-antivirus-software-except.html

Opinions definitely run deep on antivirus software.  I was also an IT guy (now retired), as are two of my brothers and one of my sisters.  My brothers scoff at the mere mention of Windows Defender and can't fathom that's what I use.  They have used Kaspersky for years and used other major leading apps  and freeware before that.  On the other hand, my sister and I have used nothing but Windows Defender and its predecessors for years.  My brothers each have a couple of computers and over the years, they have picked up a couple of viruses, but nothing serious.  On the other hand, neither my sister or I have ever picked up any viruses on the six to seven computers typically in our homes at any given time.  I used to load other antivirus programs periodically on some of our computers just to see if running scans on them from other apps would pick up something WD was missing, but I never got any hits and finally stopped doing that.

I also support computers for some extended family members who rely on Windows Defender.  There have been a few times when one of their computers developed quirks (sometimes major) for which I would download freeware AV apps (including Bitdefender and Malwarebytes) to double-check the systems, but the other antivirus apps never found anything WD didn't also identify.  But in each of those cases, I was able to track the source of the problem back to applications that kids had downloaded and installed because they were using computers not used by the parents, and were therefore given more leeway by the parents on those computers.  The kids knew they were being given a fair amount of rope to play with, but they also knew if they mucked things up, they'd be without a computer until I could resolve it.  After a fix, I'd explain what had happened and how to avoid it.  They usually learned from their mistakes, but if they didn't, they did learn it might take their uncle quite a while to work their repeat problems back into his schedule.  [;)]

Of course, this is all anecdotal evidence and it may just be that my internet related habits put me at less risk than some.  But I stopped worrying long ago about relying on Windows Defender.   Knock on wood.  [:)]

I've used Norton since '92 and wish I could enjoy some of the so called problems that others supposedly get by using it. I've never had a problem. 

I figured out my problem. You changed the graphics dramatically and I was able to figure out what I wanted after I complained about it in my post. Just need to be patient I guess.

I can open the ESV with no crashes. But hopefully whatever is causing Logos to crash in your case and Layouts causing Logos to crash is being worked on as we speak.
