Known Issues
- Community Notes
- Clicking a Bible reference link in Community Notes doesn’t navigate to that reference.
- The note icons in a resource panel are not updated immediately after adding a note.
- New notes added by other users are not shown in the Community Notes panel automatically.
- Community Notes doesn’t use custom proxy settings.
- Community Notes scrollbars don’t look like the scrollbars in the rest of the application.
- Community Notes visual filters do not appear for some users; as a result, there are no Community Note icons in the resource panel.
- Context Menu
- The application will crash when right-clicking in a resource without reference milestones.
- Resource Panel
- ‘Immediate Compare’ does not respect ‘Show difference’/’Show base text’ settings in the Text Comparison panel.
- Social Sharing
- Clicking the Faithlife icon in the info pane for Bibles will display a web page with a runtime error if Faithlife.com is not already logged into a user account. Workarounds include logging into Faithlife.com prior to using the Faithlife share icon on a Bible info pane or using the share icon in the context menu instead.
- Video Resources
- Logos 4.5b does not read the LDLS3
*.lbxvid video resource format. These videos used Windows Media Player, so are not compatible with non-Windows operating systems. - Playback of videos is not supported in Windows XP.
- Attempting to play videos in Windows Vista will crash Logos 4.
- In order to play videos in Windows 7 ‘N’ (European edition), users will need to install the “Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N”
- For more information see:
- Video playback in Windows 7 ‘N’ also requires that speakers or headphones are plugged into the audio out port of your computer.
Known Issues for Mac
- Community Notes
- Community notes can only currently be added to ‘My Faithlife’ and not a specific group.
