Dictionary Abbreviations in Word Study

In the definition section of the Word Study with the advent of the additional metadata types provided by Logos yesterday there are suddenly many more links available when looking at a word definition. The screenshot below illustrates this:

Whilst this is great it does mean that you have to open a resource in order to know what you are opening (the other alternative is to learn all of the abbreviations). Some of the abbreviations are obvious and easy but others are more opaque! As a suggestions I would like to see the whole resource name shown in the hint shown when hovering over the resource name. For some resources with shorter names like say Nave's you see the fullname but not for most.

thanks,

Paul

IAWY (I agree with you) -- TLAs (three letter acronyms) (and 4, 5, ...) need to be defined ! [:)]

This is a good suggestion. One thing though you can do in the mean time is to edit the short title of the resource from the library window to make the abbreviations more meaningful as I agree some of them are not so obvious as to the actual title of the resource.
