Tab folders would be wunderbar…
A drop-down menu containing organized tabs would be MOST welcome. A "+" option would be nice to add similar resources like the current one only difference being resource would land in folder itself. Sort control would be good. Menu dividers would be nice too. Perhaps right-clicking a resource would be a good interface tool to access "+" feature for resource addition.

I should note, this is probably my best Logos suggestion ever. Would definitely need ability to label folders. Would be nice to have manual control over order, separation lines, Command keys even. This idea would allow us to get rid of extra panes, freeing up screen real estate for the making of larger windows. Larger windows are good. I'm telling you… this idea truly is wunderbar!

Tab folders would allow me to completely remove the pane in the lower right, allowing for the window above it to use the entire vertical space available. This large window to the right of my work-space would allow a person to see more of a given resource at once. The tab folders would also make for a neater appearance and keep resource tabs from flowing to the right many times forcing one to scroll horizontally in order to access a resource. A lot of times a person forgets what over there due to the concealment issue.

Then perhaps you should try to explain it to us a bit better. Maybe it's just me, but I'm afraid that after 4 posts I still haven't got the faintest idea what it is you're suggesting. What's a 'tab folder'?

A folder for tabs. So… let's say I have 5 preferred Bibles I'd like quick access to in one of my window panes. Instead of 5 individual Bible tabs I'd like the OPTION of creating, and naming, one folder called Bibles. I would then drop the 5 Bible titles into this one folder, position the folder where I want it, and then have glorious access to my FIVE resources from a drop-down menu attached to my Tab Folder™, all in the amount of space ONE resource tab would occupy. Another Tab Folder™ could contain background commentaries, another dictionaries, etc., etc. Know what I mean, Vern?

The "+" option I mentioned would involve defining the default resource type to be contained by that folder and then making provision to add resources to the folder with the selection of a "+" command situated within the Tab Folder™.

Wonder about creating a folder(s) in Favorites, then dragging resources into folder(s). When desired, can drag folder from Favorites to a Panel to open all resources in the folder (or right click on folder to open all in a floating window).
Personally have prioritized two commentary series into my Top 5 Bibles so a right click, then click reference has Bibles and a Commentary (or two) for choices to open. When a commentary is open, clicking on "+" displays list of commentaries with verse within range of verses included in that resource sorted by library priorities. Hence, can quickly open many more commentaries.

Most helpful, KS4J. Speaking of favorites, Favorites function in newest Android app is a wonderful addition.

I did not know you could do that! Thanks for that tip.

Somewhat related, I would like to have some control over which panel a resource opens into by default when not using a panel tab.

Logos User Voice Suggestion => Assign panels a resource type for opening resources
One workaround idea is using "+" to open a new tab with same resource type in a panel.

I'm talking about already having found the resource I wish to work with, then opening it from there. Opening a resource from a search results list, for example.

You can already do that. Just put those 5 Bibles in a collection, check the box for Show in parallel resources, and open the first Bible where you want it. You can now use cmd-right arrow to quickly flip from one to the next (I presume that's ctrl-right arrow on PC). If you want something far down the list you can click the Parallel resources button instead, and, voilà, there you have your dropdown.

Then you might be interested in Floating Tool Windows.
