Bring back the “Weights and Measures” tool from L3
The ability to read from an open windows was especially helpful.
A Weights and Measures converter is available in Logos 6 base packages: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/92656.aspx

While "almost every modern Bible [may have] this data, I don't make much use of modern bibles but rely on original language texts. As I recall [though it's been a while since I checked this], even the lexica don't give equivalents.

Bob Pritchett *has* responded on this. "Our concern with the calculator was the imprecision (or rather, false sense of precision that it gave, when working with imprecise equivalents -- sometimes with multiple, conflicting inputs)." (http://community.logos.com/forums/p/61254/434429.aspx#434429). Also "Somewhere in the archives we have a spec for implementing this as a hard-coded list of pre-converted measures that show up in the Passage Guide or Information Panel based on your Bible reference....I think we didn't do this because A) we didn't get to it, and B) we realized that almost every modern Bible has this data as easily as a right click -- it's embedded in a footnote on the actual weight or measure. Just hover to see it, or look in the Information panel." (http://community.logos.com/forums/p/61254/434553.aspx#434553)

Still no response on this issue as far as I can see. I'm not a programmer, of course, but this seems like a fairly easy thing to implement... it is just an embedded calculator... not really dependent upon anything else. Perhaps for programmers it just seems like a cute extra... but do you have any idea how valuable this is to a preacher or a teacher? Or the immense amount of research time that this saves? This is by far the item I miss most. I used it CONSTANTLY when preparing lessons. PLEASE resurrect this highly useful tool!!!

I would love to have the weights and measurement tool in L4. I hope logos will implement this in one of the updates. This is a very helpful tool.
