    as noted in an earlier post,  Logos deliberately left us to "leap in" without "help" so that they could note and learn from our struggles. 

    I hope Logos learn that we want accurate type: metadata ASAP to avoid lengthy negative (blah, blah, blah) lists and simply enter the list we want!

    This extends to resources like Greek/Hebrew lexicons being tagged with Languages of English (TDNTA is also German!!) when they really need Greek/Hebrew/Aramaic tags as appropriate.

    Thanks.  I don't know why it would work on the library but not in the collections previously.  Perhaps I was clicking in the wrong place.  Confucius say, "Picture worth thousand words."  A one line listing is much better than the multiple line monstrosity that was driving me nuts (well, figuratively speaking since we all know that I'm already nuts).  I'm a tad happier with it now.  Perhaps it will grow on me.

    If we could just press Del or - to remove an item from the list this would help a lot. Also if the list would not redraw every time you take one off the list.

    Another idea is a "not contains" edit box. So I could search for keywords Dictionary or Encyclopedia, but omit anything with Greek, Hebrew, Latin  or Syriac in the title.

    This helps, but I wish it would remember my settings on heading columns and view the next time I open the collection. It would be ideal if the change in settings affected all Collections.

    You can use the dash '-' to omit a keyword from a field in a rule.

    Here's my collection rule for "Greek Lexicons": title:lexicon -title:hebrew -title:syriac -title:targum -title:old -title:strong
