Browse a collection in the Library window?

Todd Phillips

Is there a way to browse the contents of a collection in the Library window?  If not, can we add it?  I miss it from v3.

Is there a "collection:" tag?

Dave Hooton

Yes, we need some integration between Collection and Library, so we can set tags and ratings in Collection (or Collection is a view that sits on top of Library)!

Hi Todd,

There isn't a "collection" tag at this time. I can request that. Meanwhile, one thing you might try, if you tagged resources with a specific tag, is to type that tag in the Library Find box.

 For example, I tagged 5 of my favorite commentaries using the tag 'FavCom', and created a collection with those commentaries using "mytag:FavCom" as the rule for "Start with resources matching."  In Library, I just type: favcom in the Find box and only my 5 commentaries appear. (Note: creating a collection isn't required for this to work.)

Yes, I do that too.  But, in the Library, I want to be able to see and use that collection that I created with complex rules and "plus/minus" resources, too.  That's the way most collections will be created.
