Window Scope

ASUNDER

I was complaining before about an entire book being in one window / scroll bar.

You know how we have the movement scope choice:

That same kind of drop down menu could be at the top of the Table Of Contents pane. A contents scope.
The choice of scope would determine how much of that book is currently loaded into the window.
All (entire book), Book (for Bibles or multiple volume things) Chapter. It would change depending on what type of book it is. Could have an 'article' choice.

So this selection will make the tab only have that in it. If I'm in Matthew 1 and I choose 'Book' only Matthew 1 - 28 will be in this window. So if I scroll to the top I'll be at Matt. 1 and scroll to the bottom I'm at Matt 28. It is sandboxed according to my content scope choice.

If I choose 'Chapter' only Matt. 1 is the total visible content in the window. There are the prev/next hotkeys to move around. So the scope is basically the resolution. We zoomed in on a book or chapter and only that.

Maybe the scope choice would change the Table Of Contents too. If we choose 'Chapter' then the verses would be listed. If we choose 'Book' the chapters would be listed etc. Or we could have a number of levels option. Higher levels would show more things. Level 1 only books, level 2, books and chapters, level 3 books, chapters and verses.

If Logos detects a reading plan in this book there would be a 'Today' option. It would show only today's reading in the window. If it's a devotional, we choose 'Today' only today's devotional is there, etc.
