New tab

In the desktop version, there is a plus icon to open a new tab which opens a new tab that has a list of icons of books. There are two types of larger icons in a group and smaller icons on the right side in a list.

Can you make an option to categorize these lists according to the user's preference? So for the larger group I would like to choose books that are most recently used. For the list I would like to access the most frequently accessed books.

It would also be nice to have the option to customize the larger icon lists to type: commentary, article, factbook, video, audio, etc.

    Maybe show the title and/or description instead of icons... I mean... you have a couple of thousand books in your library, can you recognize the book you want by cover? I can't.

    This seems to still be an issue. It is disappointing most of these sorts of questions which are posted and never seldom seem to be answered. I mean answered by Logos staff as they would be the ones to know if this is even being considered. The icons in the new tab are more frustrating than anything. Why is there no search? Why no way to at least alphabetize?

    Or am I missing something? Or perhaps this will remain in the ether, a question that will remain mournfully floating in the ether?

    One does this through collections. (1) Mark the collection for use in parallel resources (2) Select it

    As shown above, it already does so I'm not sure what you are asking for.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Occasionally a post gets missed, as this one did. Bump it will usually get a result.

    @MJ. Smith what I am talking about is that + button next to the two tabs you have. So next to the NRSV tab and collections tab you have a + button to open a new tab. The only option there is to open a new page with icons of what was recently opened, and on the right side you have options for tools, documents, and guides. That plus button is relatively useless to me as it is. Essentially for me it is just a tab to reopen a recently closed reference.

    I would like the ability to open a new book in a particular grouping. If you go to your library tab on the left it will open to a random grouping. In your picture it you have two groups so when you open a book it will arbitrarily open to the left or right. I don't want to open a book and then have to move it to a different group for my layout. If I could open a book to the right group in less steps that would be better. I wish the new tab button in a specific group would allow this.
