I have posted this about 3 months ago, but feel the need to do it again, and asks for help and if there is an update to FIX this failure.
Sermon Document:
My normal process for sermon prep is to build my sermon in the doc for sermon editing. I do this on my main computer at work and at home. Then when I am doing finalization and review just before the service, I work on it on my iPad.
The sermon is not up on my computers. Though I do leave them running with L10 at the Home Screen for quick access at any time.
the problem is that while on the iPad, every few minutes, the document “resets” (for a lack of a better way to say it). Nothing is lost, but where I am working whether highlighting, editing or typing- the screen jumps and the place where I am moves clear to the top of the page, and “focus” is lost, so if I am typing along after (as I type looking at a the keyboard, and not the screen) the reset, nothing I typed is there. (Lost focus) I have to stop, reorient my screen and where I was mentally and start over again.
I assume it is something to do with synchronizing. And it is a BUG that needs fixed. Sync should affect the display - especially when I am actively working on the document. I do not want to turn off sync., because I want it synced to the cloud for any of my devices. I don’t want to have to remember to turn it back on.
Again, this is a bug that needs addressed. Maybe put a scheduled sync that can be changed or excluded for a period of time, or fix the display issue. Either way it is fixed, this should not be happening. Please help.
- Thanks for the report, Brent. > this is a bug that needs addressed. 100% agree, and it sounds super frustrating. Sorry this is not working the way it is supposed to. We can get the team working on this. > I assume it i something to do with synchronizing... I do leave them running with L10... In the meantime, shutting down Logos on the desktops while you are working on the iPad will likely alleviate the problem. Even though the sermon is not open on the desktop, it will still be syncing in the background every couple minutes as long as Logos is open.
- I’ll see if I can do that for next time. Maybe I am the only one that this concerns. I don’t know. Nobody else has seemed to chime in. My challenge with your suggestion is that I get new resources nearly weekly. So that means the next time I use that desktop, i have to wait for it to launch, then reindex (they do get a restart at least once a week, otherwise). I leave my desktops running Logos specifically so that I don’t have to wait when I need it. DesktopS. I have a full time job as well and have systems at a couple sites that I support. The only way I can get my study in, is to do it whenever I get a chance, and at every break. I don’t just work on messages and study when I am at home in the computer room/office. if there was a way to turn off sync at my iPad, that would be the best workaround (still not a fix). I could turn it off when I am doing final preparation, and back on when loading the document I added from one of the desktops. Then turn it off again when final prepping again, (loop). having it fixed would be best, and exiting the program on the desktop sounds like it may work, otherwise. Thank you for your time.
