Thanks Mark - yes I have 1 visual filter that I use and it does slow things down so I will turn that off. And thanks Philana for the advice on how to record a log, I'll consider doing that. At the moment, I'm working on some general Windows hacks that are helping (removing transparency from windows and other fancy stuff, editing Virtual Memory, both

Thank you for your helpful comments Dave. I bought my computer just under 3 years ago and SSD health is high - 95% according to the check I did. However, my notes+highlights come to 18k so that could be the issue. I'll work on optimising my OS in the meantime. Thanks to the other person for the comment of connecting to the internet. I hadn't thought

Notes, I have 7000. Highlights, 10k and growing as I've started colouring in a Bible in multi-colours which will keep that rising. If that's likely to slow Logos 8 down dramatically, that's good to be aware of. However, this problem wasn't there in Logos 7 so it seems it's particular to Logos 8...

Ah - brilliant thanks Mark! :)

I have been reading through Genesis and noticed that the names of God are quite interesting at various points. Having read Gen 34 about Dinah's rape, it was striking that God's name was not mentioned once - and given the act and the response, it makes sense why not. I wondered if this was the only chapter in Genesis where God's name was not mentioned

This is just a plea for speeding up notes. Adding notes does not normally take me 143 seconds as it did this last time but one in five times, it does take more than 10 secs. This seems really quite long even if I had an ancient computer, with 50 programs open (neither of which is true). This causes problems in two ways: 1) when I come to copying notes

Hi all - when I open the Web App, it remembers the last documents I had open - which is great - however the Bible translation ESV it always then adds in inline the manuscript (transliterated) and the Lemma despite me turning them off each time I use it. I'm sure I'm missing a simple way to get rid of it but can't think how. Any thoughts welcome!

Thank you Reuben for your help. Yes, the full preview mode does come pretty close. I hadn't spotted that, so thank you again! As for the comments on the notes files, yes I realise they're less needed. I could export them into one large file but don't know if that's best practice or not. I've separated the highlighting out as that affected ordering by

Thanks Reuben - the idea of saving the format is good, but I often switch between books between preparing a sermon, quiet time or other things and each time I add a note it opens a new notes file that I have to reorder etc rather than using the existing notes file that I have ordered by reference for example. This is not ideal. However your other observation
-
Anyhow, those suggestions have both been very helpful. Logos 7 notes were much better in that they were default ordered by reference whereas these - even after removing my highlights, require re-ordering and then scrolling down to the right place in the notebook to see the adjacent notes. Does anyone know if others have expressed concern about improving

[quote user="Jack Hairston"] This is what I saw when I upgraded 7 ==> 8, Everything defaults to "ON" to make sure you will see all the new, improved features. Unfortunately, there's a whole lot going on. For example, all my note flags showed in every open commentary; they are only needed in my favorite Bible. It took me a week to turn off the features

[quote user="JT (alabama24)"] What do you mean by a “lighter” version? You can now choose which resources to download. Alternatively you can use the web or mobile apps. The later should be available on Mac in the fall. [/quote] Ooh, didn't know about the web one. Actually that's working a lot faster than my desktop one! Might try using that

I have an SSD with 16GB RAM and yet find L8 so slow in comparison to L7. I do live in Europe however so technology is a bit behind over here. But it would be great if Faithlife could be considerate with those of us who don't have top spec computers and produce a 'lighter' version.

Guys - thank you so much for those suggestions. They are both really really helpful!!! Logos is just taking hours in moving my highlights now but it's getting there I believe!
-
Thank you Reuben for your swift reply. Well, that does kind of work, though it is quite longwinded. In Logos 7, I click on my note and the Matthew notes file appears, sorted in reference order. In Logos 8, I click on my note, go to the side toolbar filters:reference-Bible which then orders my Bible notes correctly however starts at Mt 1:1 rather than

I recently upgraded from Logos 7 to Logos 8 and am struggling a bit with the new notes format. I have a notes file for each Bible book which I like to sort according to reference. However, my note file of Matthew for example, is not ordered strictly according to reference. It seems recent highlighting in Matthew in a specific translation and underlining
-
[quote user="JT (alabama24)"] Actually, it doesn't. The notes (highlights) are still tied just to the one, single translation. However, you have the "corresponding notes & highlights" visual filter turned on. [/quote] aha! Brilliant. Thank you! :)

Hi all - I was interested in reading through one version of the Bible and colouring it with pens etc, but then I thought I could probably do that on Logos. I have found a colouring approach I'd like to use ( https://womenlivingwell.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Bible-Coloring-Chart-Bookmark-21.jpg ) and would like to colour one Bible in (Lexham English

Hi Mike - it is the second case. Though the bug comes at a precise time I'll try to explain. I have a note file from Logos 4 for each Bible book which Logos 8 now groups together. When I click Add a note, the generic note file opens and I try to set the Notebook to the book I'm in "Matthew" - in this case. I had a commentary open that I was copying

I'm trying to add notes to a passage in Matthew 18, I'm studying using the general notes editor. I try to add notes and "set notebook". If normally works but more than once it has frozen and then closes itself. Even more curiously, when it reopens, it reopens at Matt 28:1 which I wasn't looking at. It's as if it fails to realise what I had been looking
