Creating collections

I like the visual way of creating collections. I was just creating one of Bibles that I use often.  The list of titles is a little long and each time I drag a bible to the Plus these resources area it returns to the top of the list instead of staying where I just left off.  So I put the HCSB on the plus area and it went back up to the top of the list and I had to scroll all the way back down.

    To me, the easier option is to go through the library and tag all your favorite Bibles with something like FavBible. then simply set a collection to mytag:FavBible. You can even select multiple Bibles and tag them all at the same time!

    Kevin,



    This has annoyed me as well. Would like to see the resource list stay in place when dragging to add/remove.

    simply set a collection to mytag:FavBible

    Is it possible to add two (or more) tags to a single collection?

    For example: In teh "Start with" box I enter mytag:science and the books tagged "science" are on the box below. Note: (mytag:science) gives the same results.

    I want to add another tag to include both tags into the collection I am thinking I could have (mytag:science) or (mytag:tag2). then the resources from both tags should appear. Instead I get no results.

    It think if you use (mytag:science) OR (mytag:tag2) it should work. (upper case OR).  I think you can also use "mytag:science, tag2" but someone else may have to correct me on that one.

    Great, both worked. the "," was good to learn.

    I should have known to use upper case "OR". I know L4 is using upper case for the operators (a good move by teh way), but I am not used to it yet and forgot.

    I also worked around it by imbedding a collection in a collection, but being able to go directly to multiple tags will be very nice.

    Thank you,

    Rob

    Kevin and Chris,

    The way around this, if you don't use the "tagging" method, is to open a copy of My Library and drag it back into the main window (unfloat it) next to the collection you're creating. Instead of adding resources to the "plus" and "minus" areas from the collection window, drag them from My Library. The resource list will stay in place.
