Download All Un-downloaded Books
I've recently discovered some of my resources aren't downloaded (e.g. I click on a resource in the Library view and find I have to download it). This means these resources haven't appeared in searches or when showing parallel (e.g. commentary) resources.
1) Is there a simple way I can tell logos - "download everything I own not downloaded yet"
2) less important - but what may have caused this to occur?

If everything is working as expected, the answer is either becasue 1) you chose a skinny install upon the original install OR 2) you changed the settings at a later date.
Make sure to check your system preferences to see that it is as you want. Feel free to post a screenshot of what you have if you have any questions.

I've never done a "skinny" install or changed my settings
The "skinny" install is mistakenly/unknowingly choosen at times, but there have been a number of users who have said they weren't given the option. Obviously we don't know if they are correct or if it simply escaped thier notice. It is frustrating because we'd have to have someone meticiously document thier original installation to know for sure... which we don't ever have. I think there <may> be a bug, but who knows. [:s]
It may be helpful, however, to know which specific version of the app you are running.

I believe the new install engine defaults to Recommended ever since they implemented Cloud resources. I just did a full reinstall in August and the default option was Recommended and not full. That may have been how not all resources got downloaded. If you went with the default 'Recommended' option all your resources won't download, just a curated subset of resources would have downloaded.
Hi,
In your library, you can choose the 'Not on this device' facet under the 'Devices' section in the left, and that will list them all. You can then Ctrl/CMD+A to select them all, and choose to download.
As to why, 'sometimes it happens' is my experience, no rhyme or reason. I seem to remember Faithlife in a thread somewhere about this or something similar saying they were struggling to replicate, and wanting logs, which is understandable as it happens so very infrequently....I might be wrong about this I will try to find old thread.
Thanks Kevin. Hard to find, but easy when you know how!
and the issue was worse than I thought, c. 1250 resources were not downloaded, 400 odd were!
I guess I'll need to start checking this from time to time.
4.0GB on the way down - thank goodness for fibre!
