Hidden Resources [Suggestion?]

Needing to pare down the size of my desktop install, I am for the first time hiding resources in my Logos library. I actually use some of the Perseus resources, so I don't want to give up that license, but I thought I'd at least hide the Civil War set as I never use those.

While doing that, I had the brilliant idea that it would be nice if we could have access to hidden resources on the web app for those rare cases in which we might want them. Before running here to post, I went and checked out the web app. To my surprise, they are still visible in my library on the web app. When I click on a title, a pane opens for it, however the text of the book does not load. Is this how it's supposed to work?

Anyway, whatever the present status of the app, this would be a nice feature to implement in the future: access to hidden resources via the web app.

    I could see the idea of hidden resources on the web ... as long as there were a remembered filter to include or not.

    The issue I see is the desktop being the minority at some point ... so library controls, etc must be executable in the web app, and not demand a desktop.  Myself, Logos/Libronix and itunes are my only PC apps left. Else I'd dump the PC.

    Presuming a desktop centrality, the mistake back in 2008-9 was Bob forcing users to constantly and mindlessly  dump gigabytes onto the desktop.  And if you had more than one, you had to be mindless multiple times or visit Dave.
