Book info in Multiple Books Display

I love Multiple Books Display. However, the tab that hosts the books will only show detailed information about the main book in the display.

Notice how the long title of the main book is shown, and the short titles of all the others are shown. Showing detailed information (e.g., CTRL+SHIFT+I in Windows) only shows more info for "The Greek New Testament, Fifth Revised Edition: Apparatus". You can't show more info for any of the other books from here. I wish you could. So I created a suggestion here.

Yep ... MBD needs some catchup work. Maybe click on a column header for info would work.

It also, in the panel header, if commentaries, lists out every single volume of the first commentary (for me WBC). Got them all memorized!

Yeah, the column header seems like a logical place, but that does nothing. BTW, you may notice your inspiration for this setup from here.

Today, I was 'popped' into my MBD window by a open-Bible that's dependably bug-gy (understandably; it's 'Bible' software).

But just for documentation purposes, this is the window header on my commentaries. I have no idea who 'CC' is. But whoever it is, I can see which volumes are included! (We'll ignore the duplicate Hermeneia John's on the column headers).

That's interesting. I'm often puzzled by lots of stuff in this feature, and this adds to the list. [^o)]

Again, I'm just documenting MBD's various bugs (he has quite a lot!).

In this one bug, Hermeneia's Enoch translation is leader, with another translation, plus 2 commentaries. I wanted both translations to display single-line-verses, so I selected Visual Filters and the Bible choice (Enoch IS a Bible book!).

That's when the Hermeneia translation completely blanked out! I thought maybe the translation doesn't do well with the Bible>SingleLine filter choice (it's buggy also). But the Hermeneia translation doesn't even have that filter choice! Apparently, Logos decided he's not a Bible book, I guess.

The work-around is to put Charles' translation first, then Hermeneia. Then verse-single-line is happy for both!

MBD seems to have quite a few bugs scurrying around. Again just documenting.

The most recent bug came from my trying to figure out how the search wear-marks on the scroll bars work. I didn't succeed in figuring out the principle, after consulting Help, and then looking at the result, at least on the MBD display.

But in any event, clicking on an orange wear-mark, in MBD, instead of jumping to the wear-mark location, opens another copy of the resource. Why thank you, Logos!!
