I had some particular serial resource associations in L3. What, if anything, is the equivalent in L4?

Lew,
Prioritizing is critical as a first step.
Then using the + tab on the resource pane. It will list parallel resources and then compile a list of similar resources that have a specific reference to the passage or topic you are on.
Melissa said this:
If you prioritize a Greek and Hebrew Bible, then double-click thearea next to the tab of your English Bible (not on the +), it willopen your Greek text with a NT passage and Hebrew text with an OTpassage. You can use the New Tab feature (click the +) to choose aresource with the same passage from a broader list.

Thanks for the response.
I cannot get it to work, and maybe it cannot work the way I want it to. It would be great to have, say, the Analytical Greek NT in series with LXX, NA27 with Gramcord in series with BHS 4.2/Westminster, and have these linked to my English Bible. Then, when I go from 1 Cor 1:1 in the NRSV (with AGNT and NA27 also on 1 Cor 1:1) to Ruth 1:1 in the NRSV, I could get the LXX and BHS 4.2 on Ruth 1:1 in those tabs.

Serial Resource Associations as in v3 are not supported in v4.
I suggest you keep requesting it.
Lew, the thinking was that serial resource associations for Bibles are no longer necessary in Logos 4 because of the ease of having multiple panels open and linked. So you'd have all of these opened and linked: NRSV, AGNT, NA27, LXX, and BHS. As you jump from NT to OT or vice versa, only the appropriate resources will follow. They rest will stay put until you jump back to that testament. It takes a little adjusting to, but I've found this to work quite nicely if you have sufficient screen real estate.
Ahh. That's kind of what I thought. Real estate is the issue, but i can handle it.
I sure appreciate those who know how to answer questions being patient with the same (or similar) questions over and over. With so many questions coming through using different terminology, it's impossible to keep up.
Thanks!
I'd settle for having the LXX open up when I type an OT reference into a GREEK NT bible. Similiarly for Hebrew and the BHS...and it's NT equivalent (even though I don't own one yet...)
Then I could link my original language bible to my English bible/commentary, and get the results I expect without having to kludge with more windows...
opening floating panels can be helpful the real estate issue - particularly since you can have multiple tabs in a floating panel.
More windows in my case is partially a screen real-estate issue, and partly a memory problem. Even if I had the money to upgrade my Ram, my laptop only supports 2GB (some of which must be shared with the graphics card). [I'm already at 2GB].

Phil, I just tried that and it is a very poor substitute to permanently link at least 3 bibles (one has to be OT/NT). A serial association is independent of other bibles and saves screen estate. I have far more resources open than I ever did in L3, so my tab space is nearly at maximum! Beside that it is too easy to close one tab and ruin the association.
We need real Serial Associations!
thanks,
It works already with the commentary series (NICOT/NICNT, WBC etc.) so it shouldn't be problem to pair the OT and NT original text resources. It might however need to create a tool inside the Logos to make it possible to be done by a user.

I think I can see what your saying, but to make it work for me I would want a keyboard shortcut to rotate through the tabs in one particular pane. Does this exist? right now the only one I can recall having is one that takes to all your tabs in the order they were opened, so you end up jumping all over the place.
I know you guys are really shying away from clutter, which is a good thing, but what I would really like to have is a quick way in any Bible to see all my other prioritized Bibles, and only those Bibles.
I can see why you guys are going here, and I'm going to play around with it a little bit and see if I can "sell" your vision if I think its worth selling. To put resource associations in at this point in the game is big, and begins to work against what you've tried to accomplish.
I do have a question in looking into this though. What is this mark for?
Philip. It's the resource you opened the new Tab from
Phil, who are your "guys"? Why are you discussing Prioritized bibles and resource associations at the same time?
Phil Gons I realize this thread is 2 years old, but despite various google searches I haven't found a better place to re-raise this issue. I'm dusting off the software on my new laptop, and still wishing for a way to do this.. Is there some shortcut/trick I've missed enabling you to link-drive your one resource tab to another appropriate 'bible' of the same language if the book currently there doesn't have the passage in question?

You haven't missed anything, so the answer is still "No" (sadly).
At the very least, I found this link so I could express my support with other like minded users. http://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-4/suggestions/549445-resource-associations?ref=title
I'm just amazed that Libronix3 is still holding its own against L4. Great notes, 'copy' works pretty uniformly throughout the product, do-it-yourself timelines, resource associations; the list just keeps getting longer and longer.
One of my favorite L3 features is being able to use the arrow keys in the menus, quickly zooming up and down, opening sub-menus and closing them and so.
I'm really looking forward to Libronix4!
I think I'm confused, Denise... [:S] haven't you been using it the last 2 years?

No serial RAs, even yet.... [:'(]
Unfortunately Phil and others at Logos keep insisting that serial resources are not necessary with Logos4. This is just not true. It is not a real estate issue. It is an issue of linking together a particular OT with a particular NT, or a particular OT commentary with a particular NT commentary. When you enter a new Scripture reference, you want your bible or commentary to jump to the correct resource. You have your resources all linked (A or B or C or whatever), and you dont want blanks coming up... you want the resource to switch when appropriate to the proper serial resource. WE REALLY NEED SERIAL RESOURCES. We have been complaining about this since the very first beta release, but no one seems to be listening.
