Feature Request: Drop-down of like resources

I would love if I'm in:

A Bible resource, that I could - from within that window pane - select from a different Bible (maybe create a collection and have it prioritized).
A Commentary resource, that I could - from that window pane - select from a different commentary.
A Dictionary, etc.
Images.
Etc., etc.

Sure, I could toggle through via my arrow keys but sometimes I want to choose a specific resource and a drop-down from within the given resource would really improve my workflow.

Whose with me?

Mitch, if you're asking for a return to the functionality of parallel resources as in v3, I'm with you.

Damian,

I like that v4 B8 now uses the ALT+arrow left/right allows us to toggle among parallel resources (like it did in v.3). What I would love (hey Logos....I know you're listening) is to use a drop down with the parallel resources to go right to the exact resource...rather than toggle resource by resource before getting to our desired resource.

Sounds like a plan to me!

Like in v3

So something like this:

Exactly! You scared me with your editing touch-up for a second....I thought I was completely blind to the fact that Logos added it in to v.4!

Count me in! I miss the ease of the parallel resource ability we had in L3.

I was figuring this ability must already be there, but I just hadn't figured out how to do it yet.

Please count me in with requesting this feature.

(Especially, on slow netbooks which take a while to load each resource, scrolling by right/left clicking isn't a workable solution.)

Yes, please!

+1. I really, really missed the Parallel Resource Associations in V3. To add on your list I would like to have multiple categories for each of your first 3 items:

Bible (English, Greek, Hebrew, Chinese)
Commentary (Language, Pastoral, Lay People, Study Bible)
Dictionary (Bible, Theology, Illustrations, Archeology, etc)

I agree with this... right now if I understand it right, in order to see all the associated resources you must open a new tab and wait on the list to populate.

The 3.0 drop down allowed to go to a selected PR just by clicking. Much easier in my opinion.

I've found that the "add new tab" button (the + sign next to the last tab) is context-sensitive, and seems to display a list of resources (book covers) of similar kind to the currently selected tab.

If your currently selected resource is a Bible, the + button will give you a list of parallel resources. (It actually uses the term "parallel resources" while it's searching for them.)

There seems to be some intelligence (or mystery, depending on your point of view) built in... a Bible begets a list of other translations; a commentary begets a list of other commentaries; a "Be" commentary gives you a list of other "Be"s; a book of images gives you a list of other collections of Bible images... pretty neat.

This might be L4's replacement to the "parallel resource" feature from L3. Thoughts?

There will not be a parallel resource drop-down list. See http://community.logos.com/forums/p/2580/21389.aspx#21389
