Is there any way to open ANET at one reference and automatically have COS open to the same reference point?
Not sure if they are set up that way or do you simply have to open ANET and COS individually and manually go to each reference.
mm.
COS is tagged with ANET datatype, so it should be simple to link the two of them together. Is that what you are asking?
@ Ken,
I've tried to link the three COS to ANET and it doesn't work. For example: I have COS 1 linked to ANET. When I search for "The Repulsing of the Dragon" in the Coffin text my search comes up with finds in both books. However, when I go to COS 1 the ANET does not follow it. So I guess it can not be done.
Correct???
Ken ... where do you see COS being linked to ANET? I looked at the older Libronix and L5.
I notice COS cites ANET in its footnotes; so one could attached a CitedBy to ANET and have COS follow along (where he provided a citing).
OT but interesting: I didn't know COS had OT links. That'll be another CitedBy candidate for my Old Testament layout!
That'll be another CitedBy candidate for my Old Testament layout!
Denise out of curiosity what other items do you list in your CitedBy tool? I find myself constantly adding more and more items to it, but the window quickly becomes unwieldy.
Not doing that much with the Old Testament lately - but I could have sworn that at least before ANET came out, the Libronix COS was a target for the ANET type.... A quick google search pulls up this text describing the COS..."The Logos Bible Software edition includes a data type for handling citations to Pritchard’s Ancient Near Eastern Texts Relating to the Old Testament, a smaller, older, but very popular collection of ancient Near Eastern writings so that in the future, Logos books that cite ANET can link to the Context of Scripture where the two collections overlap."
But none of the volumes of COS seem to have this in my Logos 5 setup. I can't say when or why this feature was removed.

Ken ... excellent catch and good memory. It's too bad since Logos would be the perfect vehicle for crosslinks.
Nick ... you're definitely right .... the CitedBy tool is so powerful, it's difficult to manage.
* Finding the resource is positively bazarro. They mixed up random resources, collections(?), series maybe(?), and tagged resources (mine) as unbelievably unsorted as absolutely possible. Then halfway down the list they put 'Entire Library'. Well, ok!
* The display assumes a large panel since they first group within a collection/series and then a resource. So if you use a smaller panel (like me for instance), you really have to scroll around. If I were them (and luckily I'm not), I'd use the iOS badging concept.
When I added my COS, it literally took me 20 minutes to go up and down the list to find it. Using CitedBy, I often think of the Pink Panther movie where the un-mad scientist is being held hostage with his daughter being tortured with chalk-board scratching in another room. Screams of pain.
My CitedBy's (2 panels in separate windows):
OT: COS/ANET (new), Talmud/Mishnah, Early Church Fathers, and Massorah
NT: Early Church Fathers, NT Apocrypha, and Diatesseron
