Thanks for your reply, Bradley! By "instantly," I mean faster than I can get my finger off the button I just pressed. Instant-enough. I'm sure there's stuff out there about when lag time becomes noticeable and annoying for users vs. when it's fast enough. Like, as I'm typing this, the letters are appearing "instantly." I think 1 or 2 seconds is a problem

Thanks, Mark. I appreciate your response. I mean, I really don't know these things, but when I hear about people needing fast computers it's typically for gaming or video editing, not database processing. And you almost lost me with the mention of SQL Server Management Studio. I had to look it up. I agree — Logos is light years ahead of that thing
-
🙂 I probably will need help getting them. My hesitation has been that I really don't think it's the job of the user to fix the app for the developer. I do appreciate the kind offers to help, David T. and others. And even though I hope my puny comments might influence development plans for L9 or L10, in reality, I want Logos to run faster THIS WEEK

Isolated? It seems like there's been quite a lot of people over the years that admit that Logos is not "snappy." Logos is slow. And I don't even care if it's slow for complicated searches. I care that it's slow doing very basic things that all other apps do instantly .

Thanks, GaoLu, I don't use iTunes much (Spotify is my go to), but I opened it and gave it a try for a few minutes. I didn't notice much that seemed slow. Mouse clicks registered, menus opened and closed instantly. I did notice that some resources took a half second to open, but I think that's because they're not stored locally on my computer. Yes, snappy

Thanks Mark. I appreciate the dialogue. [quote user="Mark Barnes"]Certain apps will also be designed to push the limits of currently available hardware. Games are the obvious example. Video-editing is another. And database servers are a third.[/quote] Great examples — Logos is none of those. It's doing nothing that should push the limits of hardware

I'd be interested to know what using Logos is like on an iPad Pro. I can't imagine the mobile version of Logos could be slow, as well. There's even less tolerance for slow apps in iOS. Maybe this is a generational thing. What's the average age of a Logos user? Like one user said, speed is relative. What's fast for one user might be slow for another

Hi Dave, Thanks for responding to my post! You're right, it's not about having fast computers. Before this, I had a slow MacBook Air — Logos ran dog-slow on that, too. The Mac users I'd love to hear from are former Accordance users who now use Logos for their work—meaning they need it to perform well, within certain time constraints and

[quote user="Mike Binks"]Logs?[/quote] I'm not really interested in being a beta-tester. I think what I'm asking for is a culture change at FaithLife. Make your app as fast as your competitor's.

David, DO NOT UPGRADE TO THAT LATEST COMPUTER! I did just that, spent $2k mostly because I thought a new computer would be fast enough to run Logos — it's not. A 2018 MacBook Pro Touchbar Quadcore 16GB is not fast enough to run L8 well . By "not fast enough," I mean Logos runs slower than any other app on my new MacBook. Painfully slow. Constantly
-
The first thing that people think of when people talk about how slow Logos is, is searches. When I mean slow, I mean the scrolling stutters, double clicks wait a second to respond, menu button presses lag, right button presses don't respond because it's thinking about something else, annoying pop-ups cover half the screen and won't disappear immediately
-
Mark B. and others, I appreciate that you've taken the time to respond! I've run at least two versions of Logos across at least two machines, with many updates in between — all slow — so I have a hard time thinking it's some wrong config on my machine. Especially with all the other complaints of general Logos speed problems. We are really

Another day, another hour wasted trying figure out how to fix something that's not working as it should in Logos. Only to get to the end of that hour and find out in a forum that this has been a problem for nearly a decade, and no one's wiling to fix it. I'm spending a lot of money every month paying off Logos, and will continue to... ...but I'm sure
-
Thanks, Fredc! I found it in the Mac list. Unfortunately, it's another example of how slow Logos is. Why is everything so sluggish?
-
Does anyone know the keyboard Shortcuts for "Prior location" and "Next location"? What I mean is, the keyboard shortcuts for arrows in the top right of the screen. Thanks!
-
Thanks, Dave! I want to be able to keyboard-shortcut-COPY a partial verse and keyboard-shortcut-PASTE what I copied plus Scripture reference. Seems like a very simple but highly useful feature. Logos doesn't currently offer this.
-
Thanks, Adam! I was wondering if Copy Citation and Copy Bible Verses used the same mechanism -- because I noticed that Logos is customizing the the font when copying citations (for instance the "Harvard" Citation Style copied the Bible text in Helvetic and part of the reference in Times New Roman) -- and I can copy partial verses when coping as citation
-
Good to know I'm not alone. Thank you!
-
Thanks, Graham! I appreciate the response. Unfortunately, CBV falls short as 1. I don't prefer CBV to be open and taking up screen space 2. I don't prefer to mouse and click around with CBV when this should be professional level software, demonstrated by more developed keyboard shortcuts for alternative copy/paste options. 3. I don't prefer being forced

In "Program Settings," when I turn on YES to Copy Citations and use some crazy RIS Style to get this: the Lord put a mark on Cain TY - BOOK TI - The Holy Bible: English Standard Version CY - Wheaton, IL PB - Crossway Bibles PY - 2016 SE - Ge 4:15 ER - how are you producing that? Are you just using the CBV tool and adding your own "Formatting Codes"
