1. Add "NOT" operator to library filter syntax

   At present, if I want to filter my library on the NOT of a single condition, I have to artificially add a universal condition so that I can use the ANDNOT operator; e.g.

   rating:>=0 ANDNOT mytag:"value"

   It would be more natural to use something like:

   NOT mytag:"value"

   or maybe

   mytag!:"value"

   (Note the exclamation mark preceding the colon.)

2. For Bible quotations (e.g. from the Copy Bible Verses tool), follow the SBL Manual of Style and Christian Writers Manual of Style

   Currently, Logos places a comma between the chapter:verse and the Bible version. Standard practice according to SBL and CWMS style manuals is as follows:

   "For God so loved the world . . ." (John 3:16 KJV).

   Notice the placement of the parenthetical note just before the final period, with no comma.

   It would be really nice not to have to manually change this after pasting Bible quotations. Thank you for your consideration!

   This can be accomplished by creating your own CBV style. Start with one that’s close to what you want (e.g., Quotation), then in the Style picker, click “Create a new style” at the bottom left. Delete the command from the =Footer section, then add a period and make other changes as desired.

3. Lexham Research Commentary: Eschatology Collection

   Hello,

   I sure would like to get the following  Lexham Research Commentary: Eschatology Collection, but Lexham just hasn’t got it!

   Maybe someone high up can make an executive decision to create such a collection. Include the following books below.

   • Jeremiah
   • Ezekiel
   • Daniel
   • Olivet Discourse books Matthew, Mark and Luke
   • 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Timothy
   • Revelation
   • Include Lexham Dictionary and Lexham Hebrew-English & Greek-English Interlinears for OT & NT
   • Lexham Context Commentary – OT & NT for books noted above

   Like MANY, I'm an eschatology buff.

   I REALLY LIKE the Lexham product line.

4. Make Reading Plan Schedule more flexible

   Instead of just allowing "every day" of "every weekday" or "every Monday" allow reading to be every x days
   eg every 2 days or every 3 days (so you could read every other day or every third day)
   or every other weekday or every third weekday

   If this is complex then you could consider allowing users to create reading plans outside Logos and import them

   Extra note for your info: In the UK (and elsewhere) the BIOY reading plan is very popular: http://www.bibleinoneyear.org/
   One of the things I would like to do is mimic this plan in Logos

5. Make a global switch for showing / hiding verse mapping id; specifying canonical order

   The ability to see the verse map used by any particular reference is limited. Please make it possible to control the visibility of the verse map at the global level so that the verse map always displays. Allow all entries of scriptural references to permit the specification of the verse map. Also permit the specification of canonical order at the global level so that everything displays in the same sequence regardless of the original document. Allow this global specification to be overridden at the resource level. For example, my standard sequence could be NAB but a note file could be JPS (Tanakh)

6. Instalment payments for long instalment products

   I purchased the Keller sermon archive which was to be released in 5 instalments (note: full payment had to be given up front) What I never anticipated was how long it would take to get these instalments. It has been 8 months and only 2 instalments have been released. At this rate it will take over 2 years to receive this product in full. The sheer length of time is a problem in and of itself but I suggest that if Logos is going to take so long in releasing instalments that payments also be made in instalments. It is not right to take so much money up front and take so long to provide the product.

7. Provide a web browser clipping extension like Evernote

   Hey, guys. I am a huge LOGOS fan. Thanks for great software. Here's a suggestion for future updates. Or maybe you have a way to do it now and I don't know about it.

   It would be awesome to have a web browser extension like Evernote that would allow us to clip article or web content straight into Logos as a note for a specific Bible text and/or an addition to a topic.

   For instance, I just came across an article in Biblical Archeology on the pool at Siloam. I clipped it in Evernote but it would have been amazing to clip it for Logos, associating it with the text in John and adding it to the topic "Pool at Siloam."

   Just a thought. Thanks!

   Brad

8. Remove defintion (8a) and (8b) for "kosmos" in your Strong's Electronic Lexicon

   I have just learned that the NET study site has an alarming error respecting the Greek for Jn 3:16 (http://classic.net.bible.org/strong.php?id=2889).

   In Jn 3:16, it seems to me that the NET notes (http://classic.net.bible.org/verse.php? ... 3&verse=16, footnote 1),and please correct me if I am wrong, suggests that world refers to all mankind, all men. Also, the study, God So Loved The World, by: Richard D. Patterson, also asserts, "Just as God’s love encompasses the entire world, so Jesus made atonement for the sins of the whole world.”

   Yet, when I go to the Greek (http://classic.net.bible.org/strong.php?id=2889), it defines world or kosmos as "of believers only", citing (among other verses), John 3:16. On defintion #8, we read, "8) any aggregate or general collection of particulars of any sort (8a) the Gentiles as contrasted to the Jews (Ro 11:12 etc); (8b) of believers only, John 1:29; 3:16; 3:17; 6:33; 12:471Co 4:9; 2Co 5:19."

   Both 8a and 8b are untenable and fabricated definitions. Untenable because no reputable Greek scholar or Greek lexicon will support it. As a matter of fact, I have yet to see a lexicon that adheres to such a defintion. It is a fabrication because it is a definition copied exactly as worded with the exact same Bible texts cited in AW Pink's studies (see:http://www.pbministries.org/books/pink/Miscellaneous/kosmos.htm).

   Section 8a and 8b (in bold above) need to be removeded not only because they are erroneous and fabricated definitions (seemingly for the purpose of giving greater weight to a particular form of doctrine) but because it causes confusion when studying the text in netbible.org. Or, is it that netbible.org is confused at which defintion is the correct one? Or, worse yet, maybe they had included this electronic lexion without really paying attention to what was being was in it.

   I own a NET Bible in book form and appreciate it very much. However, this is one reason why I do not use the internet - not even netbible.org - for serious Bible study, because things can be so easily manipulated when put in electronic form, as your website demonstrates.

   I have been doing much research on how and why this defintion for kosmos appeared and I see it in many Bible study websites and, apparently, it seems many "teachers" of the Bible (who obviously have not done their homework) in the youtube and blogs use this definition to support their particular doctrinal position and purport it as something Thayer or Strong had written (which is utterly false).

   I even brought this to the attention of the bible.org forum in the hopes of finding someone who can help correct this inexcusable language error. I received 100% support for my claims that the use of these definitions, especially 8b, are fabrications (see: http://forum.bible.org/viewtopic.php?f=84&t=18437&p=172806&hilit=thayer#p172806).

   I contacted another website and informed them of this problem. After investigating it in consultation with a Greek scholar, the administrators of the website removed 8b from their website (see: http://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lex ... 889&t=KJV (but not 8a. Unfortunately, I concentrated on 8b and made no objection at the time to 8a. It was only afterwards that I learned 8a is untenable, also.)

   Unfortunately, many websites still use the same exact electronic lexicon as bible.org carrying the same false definitions for dessimination worldwide to new or unsuspecting Christians (see: http://ww.globalharmony.biz/lex/grk/gwview.cgi?n=2889 and http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=2889).

   When I first noticed the blatant error, it was attributed to Thayer. As such, I had argued that Thayer never defined kosmos as "believers only". Yet, even Christian sites hold a different thelogical view, other than those who espouse such definitions of kosmos for Jn 3:16, do not realize that it is a fabrication; that neither Thayer nor Strong ever included it in their respective language references, at least, there is no evidence to my knowledge (see: http://lavistachurchofchrist.org/LVansw ... 01-27.html).

   I would request that a thorough research be made as to the validity of defining kosmos in Jn 3:16 as "Gentiles in contrast to Jews" or, and especially, "of believers only", and taking the appropriate action if it is found to be untenable and false (as I am sure it will be).

   If Bible.org agrees with Tenny (as quoted by Patterson) that Jn 3:16 "sets the theological framework for the teaching of the whole Gospel", then this is something that cannot be ignored.

   Please feel free to contact me with any questions or additional information needed.

   Thanking you for your prompt attention to this matter.

9. Atlas bug fix: location highlighting broken when switching maps

   It took me a long time to track down what I think is happening. It seems that if the Atlas has a map selected on the left and the search term you enter is not on the current map, the Logos 8 Atlas:
   * Finds a relevant map and loads it (good!)
   * But it does not recenter the map on that search term or pulse to show you its location (bad)

   The only workaround appears to be to find a location in the newly loaded map, search for that, then reenter your original desired search term. Note: this is a particularly vexing bug if you keep the Atlas open and as part of your daily reading you're bouncing back and forth between the OT and NT (and are looking up locations in both). See below for instructions on how to reproduce the bug.

   Instructions on how to reproduce this bug:

   • Open Atlas
   • By default Biblical Word - Life of Jesus is the highlighted map (at least for me)
   • Type in "Emmaus" in the Filter Maps search bar
   • Click on the Emmaus Village entry that appears below
   • Map zooms, pulses on possible location (good!)
   • Type in "Bethpage" in the search bar
   • Click on Bethpage Village
   • Map zooms, pulses on location (good!)
   • Type in "Zoar" in the search bar
   • Click on Zoar City
   • Map selected on the left changes to Biblical World - Patriarchal Period, labels on map change, but no recentering or pulsing (bad)
   • Type in "Gerar" in the search bar
   • Click on Gerar Town
   • Map zooms, pulses on location (good!)
   • Type in "Zoar" in the search bar
   • Click on Zoar City
   • Map zooms, pulses on location (good! Worked since in the same map.)
   • Type in "Bethpage" in the search bar (second time)
   • Click on Bethpage Village
   • Map selected on the left changes to Biblical World - Life of Jesus, but no recentering or pulsing (bad!)
   • Type in "Emmaus" in the Filter Maps search bar
   • Click on the Emmaus Village entry that appears below
   • Map zooms, pulses on possible location (good! Works since it's in the Life of Jesus map)
   • Type in "Bethpage" in the search bar
   • Click on Bethpage Village
   • Map zooms, pulses on location (good! Works since it's in the Life of Jesus map)

   Desired fix:
   Always recenter the map and pulse the destination

   Any way this can be fixed? I love being able to better understand all these locations visually, but this workaround is really painful. Thanks for listening!
