I said something similar in the other thread. But, Tom, will we never learn? At least Logos knows there are 2 canons. Shall we break the news to them re: Judaism?
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

All of them.
As noted in the popup help for that setting, this only affects Bible Facts tools (e.g., Biblical People) when data (from deuterocanonical books) is available.
No such data is currently available, so this setting has no effect. However, we anticipate adding this data in a future update to those resources (I don't have an estimate on the timeframe); this would possibly coincide with a reverse interlinearisation of the NRSV Apocrypha (see http://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-4/suggestions/514417-create-a-reverse-interlinear-for-nrsv-deuterocanon).
If and when we have sufficient data from different traditions of deuterocanonical books (a big "if"), this setting may be made more fine-grained.

Appreciate Logos is working on this, I respect different faith groups will have different takes on what is included but I'm happy with a one size fits all list for the times I want to dig into this stuff. But one day would be great if there options for the various faith groups in addition to a show all. Till then...thank you.

What I don't understand is why these tools have to be called Biblical people/places/things (leading to canon discussions)? What does it matter if the place I want to research is mentioned in Joshua, Tobit or a book on Babylonian religion? What does it matter if the relationships I want a clearer picture of are between kings of Israel, Maccabean fighters or the rabbis in the Talmud? We've got the basic tools. Instead of limiting them, expand them. Change the names and make them useful for all books!

Changing the names would be easy. Making them useful for all books is the hard part. There is an enormous amount of data tagging that goes into powering these tools (which is why they don't currently show any information from Tobit, etc.--that work simply hasn't been done yet). For example, how many Marys or Johns are there in the Bible? When you see the name "Mary" in the text, to which person does it actually refer? How many distinct women are actually mentioned or named in John 19:25? How many people are there in the Bible who aren't explicitly named at all? (These are just examples of some of the questions that need to be answered to create this data.)
The good news is that creating the data to expand Biblical People/Places/Things beyond the Protestant canon is in process. The bad news is that it takes time, and isn't ready to ship yet. And, unfortunately, correctly tagging every "Mary" in every resource in the library isn't going to happen any time soon (as cool as it would be for that data to exist, especially when studying an obscure person with a common name).
