Am I missing something or do Collections and/or MyTags not show up (hence, are not available) when I select resources for use in MultiView?

Instead of Artificial Intelligence, I prefer to continue to rely on Divine Intelligence instructing my Natural Dullness (Ps 32:8, John 16:13a)

    What would you expect collections or tags to do in this context?

    I am only investigating/experimenting with MV, but I thought it might be beneficial to have a collection or tags available with a specific set of preselected resources.  IOW, one wouldn't have to individually select or type in every resource every time.  So, I might have, say, tags for MVGen, MVAmos, MV2Tim, with only those resources I wanted to see/use in MV.  Quick and easy.

    [EDIT] Actually, that might be a bad example since MV hides resources not pointed to by the host, so resources of the same type (e.g., commentaries) are not a problem.   But then one might have collections/tags for different types of resources like MVComm, MVDevot, MVStBiNotes where the host remains the same.  Thus, using the NASB77 as the host, I could quickly and easily MultiView my select commentaries, or switch to my select devotionals, or switch to my select StudyBibleNotes.

    Oh wait ... upon further investigation, I guess I could shortcut for different MVs and switch back and forth that way.  That would work as long as one doesn't hit shortcut overload.

    Sorry for thinking out loud on the forum.

    No need to apologize - often one person's thinking out loud helps another user. Its those who don't think on the forums that are sometimes problematic. [;)]

    Your tags/collections idea isn't a bad one IMO. It would be useful to be able to save groups, as it would be for Text Comparison. But shortcuts is the way to do it for now. You can use Bookmarks/Favourites if you run out of shortcut space.
