How do I find all Perseus resources in my library?
NB.Mick said:simply filter the library for 'Perseus'
How do I remove blocks of books from my library?
NB.Mick said:See the detailed description under http://wiki.logos.com/Hiding_books
Do hidden books add to the initial processing time?
that check is only performed if logging is enabled. (It's an extra diagnostic step so that Tech Support has additional information to help identify why a resource may not be available.)
How do I create a reading plan by copying an old one?
Create a new custom reading plan. Then open the "Add" menu at the top of the panel. Choose "...another reading plan" and select the plan you want to copy. This will add all the readings from the old plan to the new plan.
How do I install a subset of resources on a small device?

Genghis said:So it sounds like you have to
Try this:-
- Start a clean installation on the tablet
- Select Custom installation
- uncheck “Automatically Download Updates”
- Copy required resources to a folder ----> this assumes you already have a full installation
- Sign in to Logos when installation has completed
- Run scan command i.e. scan the folder at step 4
- Let it run and index
- When using it, don't click download updates.
- Use web link for software updates
- Use Scan command for resource updates ----> get them from a full installation
Note that the books you choose will be files with the following extensions:-
*.logos4 ----> Logos 4/5/6 format books incl. Vyrso
*.lbxlls ----> Logos 3 format books
*.lbspbb ----> personal books
*.lbxclv ----> Clause Visualizers (if you want Syntax Search)
*.lbxtml ----> Logos 4 timelines
*.lbshtm ----> Interactive resourcesFiles with other extensions are your datasets that are all pretty much needed for your Logos to function e.g. reverse interlinears (NT/OT), pericopes, excerpts (Home Page), LCV (topics), morphology, lemmas, grammar, referents, events, ancient literature, pronunciation, preaching themes, etc. These can take up to 4 GB of space.
So it is not a simple undertaking to merely have a chosen subset of resources and minimise disk usage.
How can I add Bible links to a text?
NB.Mick said:One way to do this would be to use Community Tags:
The command to add a community tag is way down in the lefthandside context menu, so you'll need to scroll a bit to see it:
When you add a community tag, you can choose to put in a bible reference and thus it will show up on hover over the (now underlined) word you selected:
Note this is a bit of an abuse of the feature that will affect other users - but it is also an effective workaround.
How do I search my New Testament for my Emphasis Markups?
Graham Criddle said:use the search term "{Highlight Emphasis Markup/*}" and save the results as a Passage List from the panel icon
How do I increase the text size for the Bible Comparison tool?
George Somsel said:If all you want to do is to change the font size, there is a book image in the upper left corner with a down arrow. Clicking on that will give you access to a number of different functions affecting the viewing of the resource including font size, linking to other resources, viewing of the TOC, etc.
Is there a way to search for a particular subject or object?
Justin Gatlin said:I would do it as a clause search like this. I think what you want is less where God is the subject of hesed (which is rarely a verb) and more where He is the subject and hesed is the object.
