Make Favorites more like... Favorites!

I don't know for others but I use way more the favorites in my web browser than I do in Logos. On the surface, they have much in common. In practice, access to Logos favorites is not all that practical and this is why I don't use them as much as they have potential for. 

How can this be remedied? A couple ideas (perhaps others will have better ideas yet):

1. Make it that when it is dragged as an icon to the taskbar, it can work as a drop down, expanding tree, like in browsers. 

Or

2. Just make it a special icon next to home, library and search that functions like favorites do in browsers. 

In addition to this, add a "add to favorites" star icon next to visual filter, inline search, etc in resource windows to make adding to favorites a snap (from the location in the resource from which it is invoked).

    that would be great. I am interested to what ideas others have as well. I just rediscovered Favorites last week. It's not that they are hard to use, just not as easy to get to as, say, a menu. Thanks.

    #1 is a great idea!  

    #2 is right close to it.

    Good job.

    This would be my preference, but both suggestions are better than the status quo.

    In addition, make the shortcut bar bigger (add a line to it!) and make shortcut bar icons customizable.

    (You can vote for the latter here- https://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-6/suggestions/4293374-allow-users-to-customize-shortcut-bar-icons  )

    I suggest you add your suggestions to UserVoice and post a link here so we can vote for it.
