Proclaim Slides
Is there a way to hide/delete all of the Proclaim slides/templates? While I appreciate the assistance they provide pastors and church staff, I am a layperson and have no use for them. All they do for me is make it harder to find hard to find media.
Thanks in advance.

Please will you explain a little more about the problem. Perhaps some screenshots (using the paperclip in the tool bar) and an explanation of what you are trying to accomplish?

Here is an example. When searching for bible:Luke in either Search or Media Collections in the Passage Guide, I bring back many, many images. While I expect a lot of search hits on that broad a topic, half of them are Proclaim slides.
I don't want to have to click More or Page Numbers 20+ times to see everything. Is there a way in Search or Passage Guide to see all the images without clicking More / Page Numbers a whole bunch of times? So my next step was to do the same search in the Media Tool. Proclaim slides are interspersed throughout all the other images. I prefer scrolling to clicking, but wanted to know if maybe I missed a way to opt out of the sermon slides since I don't use them.

This is annoying, and you cannot hide the resource because the slides are a dataset, not a book. I have two solutions for search:
1. Click "Your Media" and then click "Images." Uncheck the ones that do not appeal to you (diagrams and sheet music, perhaps). Unfortunately, Logos will not remember this restricted range the next time you open it, but you can drag the search to your favorites bar.
2. The other option is to add "-Proclaim" to your search string. This will eliminate results that are tagged for Proclaim.
Maybe somebody else can help you with the Media Explorer. This is one of several areas where I wish Logos had more "not" options. If we could uncheck Proclaim media and visual copy templates, it would be usable. But clicking every other filter is insane. I don't know how anyone uses the media tool, or why slide/visual copy templates would ever be something you would want to find there. I just don't use it at all.Using Logos as a pastor, seminary professor, and Tyndale author

Those options have no effect on Media Collections in the Media Search.

It works, but the correct syntax is milestone:bible:Luke NOT proclaim
I think that should be a tag i.e. tag:proclaim, but the NOT query crashes Logos!

For me, it removes the Media Collections section entirely, so I only see results from books in my library, not datasets like the Proclaim slides.Dave Hooton said:Those options have no effect on Media Collections in the Media Search.
Sorry, the -proclaim syntax is the way to exclude terms in the new smart search. I am not sure why my brain decided to sit writing that post out. Thank you for the correction. tag:Proclaim doesn't crash Logos for me, but has 0 results in my library.Dave Hooton said:It works, but the correct syntax is milestone:bible:Luke NOT proclaim

I'm no longer certain what is the correct syntax, but proclaim has little to do with the Media Collection of that name if you check search results in the Media tool.
