How to find a Personal Book by file name

Does anyone know how to find which Personal book is associated with a given filename in the folder

\AppData\Local\Logos4\Data\<random>\ResourceManager\Resources?

On my two systems there is one discrepancy, each has a filename the other does not. Both have the proper number of files that match my resources.

Thanks!

I resolved the issue by going through all the PBs, clicking on the 'i' information button, and seeing the filenames there. Turns out each install of Logos had an old orphaned PB that was no longer there, so I just deleted the files.

Note this approach will NOT work when people have 200-500-1000 PBs. Another call for better library management, in this case we should be able to easily find a PB OR an eBook (from Vyrso) by its filename (note this works fine for non-PB resources)

I noticed this as well.

I would like to name my own PB's rather than have a horrible random name like de78698e84fa404fa9d30d9c2ea23064.

Where did you get that horrible random name? I can name all my own PB's and have 37 of them. I have yet to see a name like that show up.

We are talking about file names, not resource title.

Plus URL's use the horrible filename [:|]

I knew we were talking about filenames, but I thought you meant the .docx file name. Now I see. I'd never tried generating a URL from a PB before. Uggh!

It would seem to me that creating your own file names could present a problem if it conflicted with one that Logos has created. I assume that is the reason for the weird naming conventions.

That and the fact that we really never have to see them. Even if we're going to copy a URL to use as a hyperlink, we can create some human readable link text to put in front of the URL so it's hidden.

EDIT: But still, they could generate a filename based on some prefix that we choose with a hash string made out of our unique Logos userid and timestamp; that would ensure a unique filename across all the namespace of possible personal books.

The .lbspbb file type would take care of that to some extent, but too many user ASV.lbspbb (for example) could create a problem unless, as Rosie suggested, the rest of the name is random generated. ASV090521ah.lbspbb is much better.
