IPAD Resource Collections

Under the "Entire Library"-> Resource Collection Tab on the IPAD Search Page

1)      I have two resources named “Unnamed Collection” and “Unnamed Collection (2)” neither of these are on my desktop under collections. How do I remove these? Is this still a lingering/not implemented sync issue?

2)      There are many abbreviations used for titles under resource collections. Is there a list of these abbreviations somewhere so I know what books they are without having to create a search and then open the resource to see what the abbreviation is? I found this link on the wiki page but the list is not comprehensive. For instance the Pulpit Commentary uses PC:R for Pulpit Commentary for Romans but not all the naming conventions are obvious since PC:R could also mean Ruth and in fact PC:R is used for both Romans and Ruth but there is no way to pick this in the resource list since the abbreviations are the same.

3)      How do I get specific resource collections to appear in the list other than doing a general search and have that resource show up in the list after I have opened it from the search results?

    Yes.

    No, not really. These are supposed to be recently uses resources, but I am finding that it is hit and miss. I think this is another area that has not been updated yet.

    There is no way to "add" a resource to the list. As I mentioned, you are supposed to be able to open up resource "x" and have "x" show up as a choice. This is hit and miss currently.

    Thanks for the reply, mostly what I thought. I sent the same questions along to support. We shall see if they have anything to add. If so I will post. I also ask a general question about lack of documentation of how apps are supposed to work and their functionality. It seems like it's just try stuff, like throwing pasta at the wall and seeing what sticks.

    Sometimes I think you are right about the pasta. [:)]

    Not to give Logos an out, but the app isn't really "finished." Some features which worked in the 1.x builds are in the process of being redone. 

    If you have questions, the forums are a good place to come.
