personal book used as divider in Prioritized Resources pane - disappearance from desktop but still i

Hi everyone,

I created “empty” Personal Books to serve as visual dividers in the Prioritize Resources Pane. Please see below for one that I created.

I don’t see the dividers in my Desktop though this divider is visible in my Laptop. See screenshot from my Desktop for the problem (! mark in the Yellow triangle).

It is quite possible I created the Personal book in my laptop, but I don’t know why that should be a problem. The Word file “Create Blank Personal Book Divider.docx”, which simply has 3 dots, is in a Dropbox folder that I can access from both my laptop and desktop. Please see below screenshot of the file from my desktop. The solid green with a check mark indicates the file is synched and available locally too.

Any help to figure this out will be much appreciated.

Thank you all.

It sounds like you compiled these empty divider PBs on your laptop, thus they are available there and - after you added then in the prioritize pane on the laptop - display correctly.

Are these PBs listed in the list in the PBB tool on your desktop?

If not, you could transfer the compiled PB files from the laptop to the desktop, then in Logos on the desktop do a scan of the folder to which you transferred these files which would incorporate these into the desktop Logos application. Alternatively, you could recompile the PBs on the desktop, and then go to the prioritize pane on the desktop and add them in the desired places in the list.

It looks like you built them on the laptop but forgot to upload them, thus the PBs will not be visible in the library (and the priority list) on the desktop. You'd have to open the PB tool on the laptop and upload all of them, then they will automatically download to your desktop. Alternatively you could simply locate them on the laptop, and either put on a USB stick/thumbdrive and use the scan command or copy them over into the resources folder on the desktop.

The yellow triangle means that Logos at the moment can't access the source file (maybe simply because the path to your dropbox has a different name than on the laptop), it has no bearing whatsoever on where the compiled PB is visible or not.

Thank you to both Wolfgang and N.B.Mick.

Yes.

Yes. But when I hit the Edit button, that’s when the Yellow triangle with the ! mark shows up.

I went scrounging around the Logos folders in my laptop to see where the compiled books are stored so that I can copy and transfer them to my Desktop. Any help in locating the folder where the compiled personal books reside?

Is your suggestion the same as above by Wolfgang? If so, I need help locating the folder where these files are found.

I could, but painful to do multiple.

You nailed it. The paths to the dropbox folder are different. My laptop is personal while the desktop is at my school, so the user names are different!

Partly. It's the most simple way to just upload the files from your laptop's PB tool. The other ways are workarounds to achieve the same result (e.g. if you don't want to upload or have a hundred of those PBs).

I'm sorry I don't know what you mean by uploading the files. I went and read the Help file about this feature and I didn't see anything about uploading being mentioned. I have about 25 files. Uploading sounds easier than recompiling 25 odd books. That is why I am asking.

Thanks.

You'd go into the PB tool and below the compile button "Build Book" there is an "Upload" button:

I personally use this to have PBs on both my Beta and my stable installation (Logos and Verbum, since I only have one physical laptop machine), I upload all PBs when I built them (or when I got them to a satisfactory status when I tweak the sourcefile over several test compiles).

Thank you very much for pointing me to the Upload button. I was able to get all the dividers in place in both my laptop and desktop.

Thank you.

Just wanted to post and say thanks for this initial question as it has lead to me using the same idea to add divisions between my Prioritized Resources.
Thanks for the idea, it works great.
