Suggestion: Optionally include series title in tab.

Hi.

I have "The Message of Revelation" open at the moment. I haven't used BST a lot so far, so "The Message Of..." isn't yet stuck in my head as "= BST". Would you be willing to give us an option wherein we can quickly and easily prepend the series title to books, or to selected books? That would be much better than having to individually edit each book's title.

TIA!

Nigel,

Most series already have such Abbreviated titles. I'm not sure why the BST series doesn't. It may possibly come.

Hi Nigel,

You can do this with tags. Type the message of in the Library Find box, and select all the BST books (select first one then hold Shift key down and select last one; or hold Ctrl key down and select one at a time). Then click on the Info button. Click on add tag to "Add these tags to all:" and enter BST. Now when you type 'bst' in the Library Find box, those resources will appear.

I appreciate not all meta data is up to date but seriously we should not have to use tags post final release of the product to add series names to resources.

You won't have to; we'll have server-controlled and updated metadata by the final release.

Melissa,

I don't seem to be able to do this. How do I select a book without it opening? If I click on it, it opens. If I hover, nothing happens. I'm confused.

Clicking on the book cover or the title will open the book (the title will highlight/turn orange when you are over it).

Clicking anywhere else just selects the book. Just make sure the title isn't highlighted and that the mouse isn't over the book cover image when you click.

Thanks for clarifying this point Bob.
