VYRSO and LOGOS books.

I know that from the beginning I loved the ability to read my Vyrso books in the Logos app - but there are many books anymore that I wished that I didn't have to sift through while I'm doing biblical studies.

Is there a way to "silence" or "hide" books (like Vyrso books) in the Logos library?

Thank you,

Jason

Jason this is possible, but to the best of my knowledge, if you hide them in the desktop software, they will also be hidden in the mobile app. I stand to be corrected.

Yes… and No. You can "hide" the books in L4/L5. This preference does now sync to mobile… Unfortunately, that does mean that those resources will no longer be available on mobile. This works well for books you no longer want at all… it doesn't work well for those which you would like to read but just don't want in Logos.

Most probably the vyrso books won't interfere in detailed studies due to their non-applicability. If you do a more general search for words, phrases, concepts, it will help to run the basic search not against the whole library, but against a subset, in Logos terms a collection. While a collection from "real Logos" resources is easily made (rule: edition:l), this may not be really helpful, as some theological works and even occasional commentaries or monographs by highly-reputated authors are in Vyrso. I'd suggest a collection with a rule like rating:>=0 -mytag:fiction which takes all of your library (including Vyrso and PBs) and takes away all books tagged as "fiction".

The catch is, I need to tag my vyrso resources accordingly - however, this is made easy by the new community tags: simply select all those where the "community intelligence" tagged as fiction and do likewise. Thus, fiction books in Logos (from Beowulf to Pilgrim's progress) will probably be part of it, too.

I use a different account for the books which i do not want to mix with Logos Bible. This work around I only know so far

[Y] This is the most effective provided you put the Vyrso books of a bible study nature under your normal account and not your account you use for general reading. Since I did not do this from the start I have a collection I use instead for searching (and now under Logos 5 browsing) all my library that eliminates not only fiction, business, sports, or health related Vyrso books but also bibles, manuscripts, lexicons, apparatus, cross references, concordances, bible notes, bible commentaries, visualizations and topical bibles as when I am running a general search all this sort of stuff gets in the way of what I find meaningful results. Passage Guides, Exegetical Guides, Topical Guides, Bible Facts etc will pick up the resources I am excluding at the appropriate point in my study.
