Hiding Notes Files

Y'all --

I've been considering moving over to per book reading notes, but there is one problem -- given there's no way to organize notes files into folders/etc., this makes my documents a bit of a mess. Does anyone know of a way to "hide" a notes file so the notes show up, but the file doesn't show up in my documents list in Logos?

Or any idea when we might get folders for note files?

:-)

    Hi Russ,

    My way of working around this is to name my documents with keywords and categories. For example, any note file that contains my personal notes or reflections or sermons receives a prefix, "LJD" (my initials). That separates out the dozens of resource-specific highlight files. I use other keywords for Sermons, etc.

    Here's my basic, cluttered document list:

    And then here's my document list filtered by "LJD-Sermons"

    Only by filtering. I have long argued that "resource specific" note documents should be the DEFAULT, and that they should be hidden with a toggle switch.

    Thanks for this suggestion... I think I'm going to go another route, though -- I think I'll just push all my notes to OneNote, so I only have book specific notes in Logos. 

    But while I'm asking -- does anyone know of a way to export an entire notes file into something like a Word doc?

    The only supported way, which may not be a very good method, would be to use the simple "print/export" feature from the note document.
