I own resources in English and German e.g. by Irenaeus, but they appear under differnt names. Is it possible to merge these?
You need to explain what you mean by "merge". e.g. you can relate them by putting them in the same Series or by tagging them.

I would like Logos to decide for one version of an author's name, e.g. "Irenaeus Lugdunensis (140-202)", and assign it to each and all works by this author, so that only this one version shows up in my library containing all of the author's works (see green arrow in the screenshot below taken from an university OPAC).
Other versions of the name could be carried in other data fields (see red arrow in the screenshot below).
Citavi, a third party library program, allows the user to merge names by himself:
I would prefer the first solution (done by Logos), but I would be also happy with the second one (done by the user).

I think a better solution was visible in the older Factbook format and in the handling of Bible book names - the recognition of synonyms via a reference table. Using a fixed name doesn't work well across alphabets and writing systems, Think Asian market.
I like MJ's solution better - and actually Logos uses a unique numerical identifier per author (as can be seen from shop searches) and thus would be able to facilitate that easily.

Sorry, I don't understand. What are you pointing out with "that"?
the merging of different author names under one ID. It would be easy if the ID is a (meaningless and already existing) number and all spellings and variants of the name are just attributes of that ID.

I noticed that the Zoom feature under the View menu for any book only goes down to 80% on the 'minus sign' but the Zoom on the 'plus sign' goes up to 360%! Some of the maps and tables in books would be much better to use if the Zoom could go down to 50% so the 'whole' map or table would appear on a device's screen. Thank…
First of all- thank you for all that you do and for how you have helped make scholarly Biblical reading and understanding so easily accessible.

Allow pre-pub title to be added into wish list instead of purchase?
Add the translation's marginal notes, or footnotes, to the Logos version.
I like to follow the interesting AI question suggestions. "Ya, that's a good question. Let me ask." 😀 The grammar for the question is sometimes, "what does the Bible say about… " My complaint is it doesn't respond with what the Bible says about the subject, but what people say the Bible says about the subject. When the…
