I enjoy Logos bible software, but it has some major inflexibility issues in the area of documents. 1. It would be great if there was the ability to add folders to the documents list. You know some of these scholarly people have massive lists of documents that could greatly benefit from organization, even the use of tags to help them easily find a specific document. Both the folder and the document should be taggable so it can pull up when doing specific topic research in a panel or something similar. 2. Custom reading plans are inflexible and confusing. And forget about importing them from a passage list. They all import under a bunch of unwanted sessions, and the program makes it impossible for you to divide the imported Reading Plan into custom sessions. The fact that the edit mode is pretty much ONLY to allow one to quickly remove a passage from the list, is almost laughable. Also, like passages, it would be great if Reading Plans allowed headings too. It's nice for the user to be able to see what heading/topic they're covering 'today'. 3. And how sad is it to have a large size reading plan or passage list, and you want to edit an __existing__ verse OR easily add a passage at a specific location of the list AND drag the passages around in a different __order__ OR to a __different session__? Passage List has a quirky way of doing this at least, but forget about it in Reading Plans. It would be great to easily insert, move/drag, and merge sessions together so I don't have 255 when I only want 50! It would also be nice to select multiple consecutive verses and click 'Merge' to make something like Genesis 1:1,Genesis 1:2,Genesis 1:3 become Genesis 1:1-3! And seriously, to import a longer list with headings, quickly, I had to make a Macro in another program, Keyboard Maestro, just to do all that clicking there to add a passage here and clicking there to add a heading here, that I could not, and absolutely would not sit there for hours and hours doing, myself. Due to the simplistic but unfeasible layout of doing this manually, with no real or flexible external import options, importing a large passage list with headings would be miserable for non-power users unlike myself, whom knows how to create a 'hack' around this. And since the program makes it a major pain, I will now have to go through the same extreme hoops to make another Macro for importing an external Reading Plan from a structured text document, since that one imported from Passage List is so inflexible and useless in that it adds an in-editable list with way too many sessions. People do not necessarily want every single passage on the list to fall to another day or be a different session. 4. If Logos docs allowed simple external document importing and exporting, then text files structured a certain way could easily be imported as reading plans or passage lists (with headings and sessions or exported to be quickly edited. If it had at least that, then the inflexibility of the document within Logos itself could have a supplemental alternative. A quick example could be something like this: ==John's Prologue John 1:1-18 ==Luke's Introduction Luke 1:1-4 >> SESSION ==Jesus' Genealogy Matthew 1:1-17, Luke 3:23-38 >> SESSION ... ... ... Allowing an import/export of external documents in a simple editable format will make certain operations extremely quick compared to using the UI, as working with an external document is significantly faster than dragging and dropping things around inside the UI for many people, especially the more computer-literate people, because things can be copied and pasted quickly, sessions and headings can be made quickly, and it can be backed up if it gets messed up inside the UI of Logos or used as a quick template for something else. IJS! Also, I could email the text to someone who uses Logos and they can import it without having to get it from a Logos internal group. -- Okay, that's it for now! Happy studying! Ambriel
