I want to create a collection of all the titles I purchased today; and was wondering if there is a way to search by download date, or update date, or something along those lines? I skimmed over the example collections without much luck. Thanks!
The good news: you can search any field in your library except....
The bad news: you can't search by the "Last Updated" field as far as I know.
See - http://wiki.logos.com/Library__#How_to_identify_newly_updated_resources
One work-around: You can sort by Last Updated, then select those resources which will read "Today" right now. Then tag them with the date such as 13March2014. Then you can make a collection using that tag.
Hope that helps.
I hadn't thought of tagging them, and selecting based on the tag. Thanks Bruce.
You are welcome.
Thankful for 694 free Vyrso eBooks since Thanksgiving 2011:
By the way, every tag is a collection.
Keep Smiling [:)]
Because you have often mentioned this on the forums I was curious to check the number of free Vyrso that I have received. Now I didn't do the same amount of work you did to tag them by year but I do know the overall number. Below is the collection I used. It is not quite as many as you have received but I still am very thankful.
just curious: why do you undertake the exercise of manually tagging with mytag:vyrso when there's a built-in edition:e ?
I realize that I didn't need to do this but it was quick to select them all and call them by the correct name. It wasn't much effort but you are right that it is redundant.

So - if I understand you correct - it's a question of intuitive use of the name you connect with these books.
Should Logos change its usage from "ebook" and start calling these editions "vyrso"? Or would you still want to use your "own" tags instead of the predefined edition field?
Yes
This has always been strange to me ever since I saw it in Logos. Are not all of Logos' books electronic? i.e. e-books? Ideally I would love to see it titled Vyrso. I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

I think that Logos came up with "ebook" because they receive files from the publisher that these sell as e-books on platforms (in ePub format). The vyrso products typically are more "bookish" in nature, meaning they are more prone to be read in sequential mode "cover to cover" instead of being research resources that typically are consulted in course of research in a more "random access" mode (where 'random' is a misnomer, since it stands for accessing a specific place directly which is addressed on purpose after lookup in an index or so). But these categories overlap and we see commentaries in Vyrso and "cover to cover" Christian Living books in Logos, which may have no index information and not one link to another resource.
Maybe they didn't want to use edition:vyrso since Vyrso is a sales website and a reading app - you could easily imagine Logos running other webstores for ebooks, e.g. for a theological sub-segment: say they do ebook-retailing for the catholic bishop's conference of the US in a new shop under a site named unaveraecclesia.com [all books with imprimatur!] which then states that the books run under Verbum app and also under the Verbum desktop app - no immediate connection to the refomed webshop 21stCenturyPuritans.com which sells ebooks that run under PuReForm app and also under Logos 5 [users get a discount for the Reformed BasePackage, use code Calvin4Ever]. Users from these sub-segments wouldn't necessarily connect their preferred e-book shop with this vyrso.com site that 'only sells Amish love stories'.

Not sure if joking... lol

These should only be vivid examples for the theory that Logos might prefer a 'neutral' edition identifier to leave open the road for further focused efforts towards sub-segments of the customer base. According to my current information:
Ok thats what I thought
Also using the previously mentioned rules I have 523 Free Vyrso books.

IF you ever have purchased books from Vyrso (as I have, though mainly ones that have gone on to be Logos Books) then Edition:E will pull up EVERYTHING you've bought from Vyrso, in addition to all the free titles. My query is something like Edition:e AND MyTag:Free
I too have Vyrso books I have also purchased so I do the same thing an differentiate by using the tag "Free"
Personally have tagged all Vyrso resources:
Vyrso and Xmas tags were purchases.
