I’m home sick, so I have a bit more free time than usual so I’ve taken advantage of it by streamlining a few things in Logos that I’ve been meaning to get around to.
While changing the short name on some of my encyclopedias and dictionaries (it makes referring to them from the context menu and just looks a lot better to me when I have multiple tabs open… I mean how am I supposed to ever remember what resource LELXXGEL refers to!? And who wants to go into the info pane on every single resource to see when it was written?) I had the thought “I wonder what hacks the pros use”
I would be interested to learn what everyone else has come up with to streamline, customize, and tinker with Logos to get it to your liking?
Some useful ones I’ve learned are worth the investment is changing the short name in commonly used resources (commentaries, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and lexicons) along with adding the author and date to the end. Not sure who’s screenshot I saw it on, but thanks for the idea whoever you were. Also, investing The time to tag my resources with useful tags like project type (sermon, bible study, language study, etc), subject (prayer, Greek, Hebew, ANE background, philosophy, apologetics). the tagging helps a lot in searching and utilizing resources that may not be obvious based on their name. Another was adding shortcuts to my kindle highlights and some external apps to my toolbar and favorites
Itd be neat to hear what other hacks you guys have come up with.
