Improve Notes - Display, Export, and Deletion Protection
Improve Notes - Display, Export, and Deletion Protection
1) Please improve the Notes functionality so that the Scriptures verses (actual text: i.e. "For God so loved...") also appear "in full" (!?!) in L4, in addition to the Comments and scripture references (i.e. John 3:16) that already appear. I don't want to have to constantly "Save as Passage List" just to see the full scripture text (which are without the comments there, btw). Should also provide options for users to view Scriptures only, Comments only, or Both.
2) Users should be able to export the full (!?!) scripture text from Notes, as well as their references/comments ... or better yet be able to choose either or both to export. In addition, the "export Notes to raw Text Document" functionality needs to format the output better: The individual Notes in the text file should be separated by a line of "enough/obvious" dashes (i.e. "------------------") and perhaps an empty line before/after, unlike now where there are only 3 dashes or, with the "Save as Passage List" functionality, where there is no separation, not even an empty line. This improved export functionality will help me to view the raw text output files in my Kindle.
3) It is far too easy to click the red circle "Deletion" X's for individual notes, or the Deletion sub-menu option for entire Note Files. There needs to be a protection popup which says: "Are you sure that you want to delete this Note / Not File?". It is bad practice to not have those guards against accidental deletion of these precious Notes and Note Files. You can always provide an option in the Program Settings if you don't want this functionality on by default.... just please give us users the option.

There is already a utility to do these within the notes file:
Sort by Date Note Added
Sort by AlphaYou will find this in the files setion of the forums, however I agree it should be built in to Logos

I'd like to be able to sort the note entries by the dates I added the notes. At present stuff seems to go in randomly and when I go back to the Notes file, I can't figure out what I've added and what was already there.

Let me add two more sub-ideas:
4) Notes Files are now ordered in the "File" menu by the latest-accessed on top. I would like to also be able to order them alphabetically in that list. In addition, I would like to be able to view "only" Note Files in a list.. That File list shows items of all types.
5) It should be easy to highlight a scripture verse and send it over to "any" Note File as in L3. L4 has this odd requirement that the specific Note File be actually open before it appears in the right mouse button click menu item. L3 lets me send the passage over to "any" open or closed Note File. Please give L4 the same flexibility.
