1. Notes Features.

   Logos has some great tools in their notes that make study and preparation better. However, the Outlining is buggy and lacking. First, making a "Harvard Outline Style" would create hierarchy that so many are used to - I. A. 1. a. etc.

   Also, when copying a quote from a resource, it would be great if a "bottom section" was automatically generated as a citation section for all the resources instead of pasting it right below and messing up flow of the note.

2. Exporting ALL Notes to PC at ONCE

   How about a way to Export ALL note Files as RTF all at once onto a person's Harddrive. Exporting each note one by one is crazy. Can you imagine 300+ notes?

3. Notes default font

   Issue: Setting the NOTES “ default font size,” the program institutes its own manner of determining what size font is appropriate. For people with glasses and far-sightedness it is beneficial to default to a larger text- suitable for viewing. Example: I set the default at 14 pt... add a new note and the text is now 14 pt, fine. If... I add reference text from any resource then, this text defaults to either 11 or 12 pt size. It is a random response.

   SOLUTION: Set the default parameters in the code to remove any “automatic” indicators which over-ride the user selected input. In other words, if the user does not change the font size, then the program should not over-ride the default font, regardless of whether text is typed in this section or reference text is pasted into it.

5. Support Diacritic-agnostic Searching for Notes

   • Cross-posting from the forums per the Help Desk's suggestion: https://community.logos.com/forums/p/177726/1027489.aspx#1027489 *

   In v.8, searching notes for Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic text depends on exactly representing diacritics. So, for instance, if I have a note titled קִנְיָן, and I search for קנין (no vowel points), I don't get a hit for that note.

   Similarly, if I have a note titled ἑξῆς, and I search for εξης, the note also isn't listed as a result. More frustratingly, if the note uses precombined characters as in ἑξῆς (epsilon + precombined rough breathing, eta + precombined circumflex), even if I search for the graphically identical ἑξῆς (but with combining epsilon, rough breathing, eta, and circumflex characters), I still get no search results.

   In v.7, there was the ability to sort notes in a given notebook by title. If v.8 had this ability, this search quirk wouldn't be such an issue. But, I don't seem to see where we can still do this. (Though I do like being able to search notes so much more easily in v.8. :-))

   Is there any way to search notes based solely on the letters involved and irrespective of vowel points (Hebrew, Aramaic) or accents and breathing marks (Greek)? The location boxes for lexical resources (e.g., DCH, BDAG) already support this, and it would be wonderful if there were a way to do this kind of search in notes as well.

   Thank you so much for your help!

9. Notes Improvement

   In the filters in Logos 8 add a section with people, so you could find a note based on a person. This would be helpful for the different kings that are in Kings and Chronocals or for Paul and some of his companions that are in many different books.

10. Logos 8 Notes: Add "Select All" or fix Shift+Click bug

    When I am in Logos 8, Notes, Filters and have faceted a group of Notes (Highlights) that I would like to move to a different Notes File, I am unable to select that group of notes because I have thousands, and when I scroll down the list to be able to get to the end and do a Shift Click, Logos erases my original focus in that list. This is a bug.
    
    If there was a "Select All" on the list, then I could grab them and move them to the new Notes file.
    My issue is that I have over a hundred thousand Notes in my ESV, and these massive notes files are making it hard to sync to my mobile devices. I am trying to break the ESV notes up into more Notes files (i.e., Histories, General Letters, etc), but I have too many Notes to be able to select them.

11. Improve hyperlinking in notes.

    The way Logos currently handles hyperlinking makes it quite timeconsuming to link elements in the notes to the books you are reading via the hyperlinkt (ctrl+K) function.
    I suggest the following:
    When you press ctrl+K in notes you enter hyperlink mode.
    When you are in hyperlink mode what you write out, in the note autopopulates a search field where open resources are prioritized, with a link to the currently active section.

    Say I work on a note for Is 57:15. I read something i want to link to i NICOT so I just press ctrl+k and I start typing out NICOT (I could also write "Oswalt", "New In..." ++). While I type the search field is autopopulated and since this resource is already open it shows up in the top of my search highlighted to separate them from other hits. The reference that will be linked to Clearly shown. (something like "author: short title: reference. in This case: "Oswalt: NICOT Is 40–66; Is 57:16") press enter and exit hyperlink mode. The text NICNT is now hyperlinked with the linkt to the entry for Is 57:15.

    However I also have open the NICOT commentary on Psalms so this may show up earlier in my search. It should then be enough to use the arrows keys to highligh the right resource or use the number keys, since NICOT Is 40-66 i shown as number two I press two
    .
    It should also be possible to actively click the search bar (so that I write only there and not in the not after I typed NICOT. Since the search field has been autopopulated with NICOT I ad " Is" so that it reads "NICOT Is" and the Isaiah 50-66 NICOT commentary by Oswalt shows up as the top hit since it is open. I could also use the search field to change the reference if I say want to refer to the entry for 57:16

    It's very hard to write out clearly what I mean, but I imagine this to work as simple as typing Chinese Characters, with the addition of a search field. See for example this video from 1:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VVIuzbpWEs

13. Restore Formatting Preservation in Notes

    Previously we could copy formatted text from MS Word to Logos notes and the formatting would be preserved. In L8, most formatting (color, indentation, bold, size) is removed and we are practically plain text.

    We have had this fumctionality since L4, we should continue to have it. It didn't think I was spemding money on L8 for a downgrade...

14. Notes integration with other writing platforms or API's

    Both students and academic scholars need to be writing, producing, and/or publishing a variety of content. Notes has seen some good improvement, however, it could use further advancement or perhaps a new tool beyond notes would be more appealing and functional. The inquiry and suggestion is about looking into the possibilities of integrating either offline or online (API) the various platforms used for writing, producing and publishing while obviously maintaining the Logos platform identity. API integration might further allow for edits and adjustments made in the platforms to also reflect in Logos. Currently, even exporting notes to a word document or copy/pasting formatted text from word (or other platforms) encounters significant formatting challenges that often make it too challenging to utilize reliably beyond basic annotation of ideas.

    • Apple Pages (for Mac/iOS users it is both free and integrated into the OS and iCloud already)
    • Scapple (with Canvas) and Scrivener
    • Word/OneDrive and/or OneNote
    • Google Docs
    • Evernote
    • Dropbox
    • Garmmarly(?)
    • Other

16. Duplicate notes in different notebooks for the purpose of sharing

    Two options requested
    1. Ability to duplicate notes into different notebooks
    2. Ability to share a group of tagged notes

    Explanation

    I work with multiple teaching teams as I mentor and train lay leaders and paid staff. I would like to be able to notes for a specific section of Scripture with them. Sharing some but not all of my notes as I help them learn to do Bible Study for themselves.

    I have all my notes in one notebook (started years ago, I've used Logos since 1993) and would like to be able to duplicate certain notes and/or highlights.

    I know I can share notebooks and that it can be done as read-only or with editing authority. But currently, a note can only be in one notebook.

    It would be great to be able to copy a group of notes into another notebook to share it.
    Or use the tag feature to tag a group of notes and then share that tagged group.

18. Allow highlighting in notes

    I would like to be able to highlight in my Notes Document. Doing so would make notes much more valuable, especially when doing research. I realize this may involve an architectural change since highlights are stored as notes. But it doesn't make sense to me that I can highlight in resources, but not in my own notes.

19. The Notes Menu and Tags

    I have created several hundred tags from notes through many resources in my Logos Library; from Bible translations, Commentaries, books and Daily Devotionals. Because I have so many tags created, I cannot always remember every tag I've created in my Bible research or teaching. Currently, Logos has a filter within the Notes panel which has tags as a section for ALL my notebooks; however, it will NOT show all my created tags after exhaustion the "more" option. If I click on a particular resource and select tags, it will show ALL those tags created for that resource only. I'm looking to have ALL my tags located in one place and for all notebooks. I think it would be very helpful if Logos can show ALL the tags one creates in one place. Similar to how you can show all resources in your Library through the filter menu. I hope that makes sense! You can blame Morris Proctor for encouraging us to use tags :)
