How do I send multiple resources to my mobile devices from the Library?

Martin Folley

L7 used to have a section called Devices in the info panel of the library. Sometimes is was a bit flaky WRT newly published resources ... but it was there for most resources. Now I cannot find it 

I know that a few resources cannot 'go mobile' but this is not the case here ... I can see the resource in my mobile library ... I just do not want to have to manually download each resource, especially given the poor mobile library UI !!! 

This is not a new resource (in terms of logos), and has been in my library for about 3 weeks ... so I presume that any metadata has had time to be published and synced.

Is there something that I am doing wrong?

BTW. As an aside ... there seems to be a bug in the library in that if you have a currently selected resource, remove a filter element, the library 'loses' your currently selected resource!!! even though it must be present in the new selection ...

Is there a public list of known issues? I am reluctant to keep reporting things that seem so obvious that all I am doing is duplicating posts and wasting the time of everybody involved.

Thanks.

I reported this bug in a different thread a while ago. It doesn't seem to affect everyone, just some of us. I don't think anything has been done about it yet.

ETA: Here's the thread http://community.logos.com/forums/p/174981/1011593.aspx#1011593, but it's not particularly helpful.

Thanks Sean ... I am not alone [:D]

I just downloaded this particular resource onto my  iPhone from within the iPhone's library. By the time I went back to my computer and found the resource in my library ... devices was in the info panel for this particular resource ... it is not there for the other resources.

A Quick Conclusion (not exhaustively tested ... I could be jumping too quickly!):

Actual Behaviour: The devices section only appears in the info panel if the resource is already downloaded onto at least one mobile device.

Expected Behaviour: The devices section should appear in the library's info regardless for all downloadable resources so as to allow initial downloads. In an ideal world, devices should be visible for all resources ... with a message to say that this resource is not downloadable where appropriate.

For me it also shows up if it's been downloaded to any device sometime in the past, even if it's not currently. (I got a new phone in July and don't have many resources on it yet. Resources I had on my previous phone still show this option even if I've never downloaded to this one.)

Another peculiarity ...

Looking at the life application series (below) ... none of them are on a mobile device. Their individual info panels all have devices missing (consistent with what I posted above), however when I select all of them together ... the devices section appears [:D] ... but with no devices listed [:(]
