I own resources in English and German e.g. by Irenaeus, but they appear under differnt names. Is it possible to merge these?
You need to explain what you mean by "merge". e.g. you can relate them by putting them in the same Series or by tagging them.

I would like Logos to decide for one version of an author's name, e.g. "Irenaeus Lugdunensis (140-202)", and assign it to each and all works by this author, so that only this one version shows up in my library containing all of the author's works (see green arrow in the screenshot below taken from an university OPAC).
Other versions of the name could be carried in other data fields (see red arrow in the screenshot below).
Citavi, a third party library program, allows the user to merge names by himself:
I would prefer the first solution (done by Logos), but I would be also happy with the second one (done by the user).

I think a better solution was visible in the older Factbook format and in the handling of Bible book names - the recognition of synonyms via a reference table. Using a fixed name doesn't work well across alphabets and writing systems, Think Asian market.
I like MJ's solution better - and actually Logos uses a unique numerical identifier per author (as can be seen from shop searches) and thus would be able to facilitate that easily.

Sorry, I don't understand. What are you pointing out with "that"?
the merging of different author names under one ID. It would be easy if the ID is a (meaningless and already existing) number and all spellings and variants of the name are just attributes of that ID.

Release a version of Logos that runs natively on ARM-based Windows 10 devices, such as the Surface Pro X. Emulation of Windows x64 apps is not currently supported on ARM64, so Logos doesn't run at all. Even when it is supported, a native ARM64 version should be faster.
Hi, I created this tool using GeminiAI for convenience that can update pages when the day is out of sync as some pages of the resources contains more than 1 page. I'm not sure if it's too overkill or there's already a way to do it that I'm not aware of but err just sharing this out to anyone that needs it. For example I…
I know that Linux does not make up a huge portion of the OS market share right now. But with the recent Windows-is-literally-becoming-spyware-malware-AND-ransomware shenanigans, I think it is high time to add official Linux support. Linux useage has increased substantially in the last year or two; and it is going to…
I know logos is able to print up flash cards, BUT can we get a tool that does flash cards?! I’m envisioning a simple displays Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic/Ugaritic/etc. word then touch screen/click, ‘turn’ card then definition. I don’t know how this doesn’t already exist. Ideally this would include frequency word lists that we…
In Logos Mobile App I can add a new sermon, but I cannot find any way to edit a sermon. Would it be possible to add such a function?
