Suggestion: Factbook option to not include resources

I don't like that the Factbook offers me a list of numerous resources, most of which are in the Bookstore. I would like a option to not include resources or at the minimum not include resources that I do not own (i.e. in the Bookstore). This could be in the Panel menu as an option "Include resources in Bookstore".

Including Bookstore items slows down the population of the pick list and adds clutter to the selections. If I want too look for something from the Bookstore, I can go there to look for a resource.

I haven't looked hard but are you referring to the presence of the Bookstore section? If you close Factbook with the Bookstore closed, does it still open and try to populate?

When I enter a word in the Factbook location box, the pick list includes several books, some of which I do not own. The only section in the Factbook for one of these entries is the Bookstore, which gives me the Add to Cart button for the book.

The list of books that I do not own clutters up the pick list. I don't want to have the Factbook filled with book promotions. I don't really want books that I own in the pick list, but I can see some benefit in that. I mainly want the Factbook to give me "facts" about "people, places and things", as Logos used to call a much less developed version of this tool.

It does not matter if the Bookstore is open or closed.

I believe that the intent is to eventually have information about the books that is useful whether or not we own the book -- or even if it is included in FL. I have yet to find it useful, but I also rarely notice it ... what is presented in the pick list is supposed to adjust to the user's behavior IIRC - like the command box.

This is incorrect.

This seems like a fair request.
