Any thought to testing an L4 script for new resources?

(Edit: If you've been manually moving resource files and tweaking your library already, you'll need to discover the resources before you can hide them.)
I have not been merely "moving" them -- I've been trying to permantently "delete" them!
(ie. Targums, Cairo fragments etc) But they seem to keep "re-appearing!

You see, the program knows that you REALLY NEED these resources. [:^)]

I suggest that you discover all your unwanted resources in Beta 6 (e.g., by scanning an old LDLS3 CD) so that you're ready to hide them after you install Beta 7.
So, I assume discovery includes coping the resource file to the local HD, correct? Does hiding remove the resource file, freeing up the disk space?

Bradley,
What about multiple versions of BHS that have changed over the years? Also will B7 redownload E7 resources and other third party vendors past and present?

The multiple versions of BHS are different resources; if you hide BHS 3.5, this won't affect BHS 4.2.
We're working on making all resources (including E4, Galaxie, etc.) available to Logos 4 users who have purchased them. Our collection of these resources may be incomplete when we launch, but we'll add files to it as we discover them.

Dear Bradley:
I am now getting confused. [and please be assured, I have never called customer service for any help in finding or restoring "lost" resources]
1a. I must reload all of my deleted/hidden resources back into L3 in order that L4 can see them.
BUT I did not keep any listing of the hidden ones (many of which were of Spanish origin).
I did not keep a list because I did not care--I simply wanted them hidden/gone/forgotten-- and because it was such a "pain" to hide them one-at-a-time!
-- Therefore will there need to be a different process to re-add the hidden files as opposed to the ones which I actually removed?
1b. Then reload & re-index L4
1c Then I must hide/remove them all over again in L3
RESULT
2. L4, having now been 'tricked" will "never" try to re-load them again?
BUT
2 a. If I don't reload the hidden files into L3 does this mean that L4 will continually try to re-add them in a "purgatorial" endless loop?
2b (even if I try to take them out of L4's resource drawer)?
Hoping I have not confused the matter further.
Steve

Me too! [:)]
The "hide resource" feature that will be released in Logos 4 Beta 7 has absolutely nothing at all to do with LDLS3. It does not matter whether or not the resources are discovered in LDLS3.
The only constraint with the resource hiding feature in Logos 4 is that Logos 4 must have seen the resource at least once so that its title shows up in the UI, so that you can hide it.
If a resource isn't showing up in Logos 4, you're already done. If a resource is showing up in Logos 4 and you don't want it to, hide it. (Instructions on how to do this will be provided with Beta 7.)
If Logos 4 thinks you are missing a resource, and automatically downloads it for you, and it then shows up in "My Library", then hide it and you'll never see it again.
[Edit] Re: Your step 1a: If you want to import the resources into Logos 4, so that it can see them once, so that you can hide them, you can just scan an old LDLS3 DVD that you have. Put it in your DVD drive, type "scan E:\" (where E:\ is the letter of that drive) into the command bar, and restart Logos 4. It should scan the DVD and find any resources you are missing. When Beta 7 is available, you can hide the resources to prevent the system thinking they're missing and downloading them.

My newest DVD was a 3.0d and (argh!) it has discovered 73 resources which it is kindly indexing for me.
I assume they are either hidden/removed Spanish resources/targums/Cairo fragments etc or things like extra copies of Westminster "2" or "3" etc.
I hope that the fact this is an older 3.0d rather than a newer 3.0f does not subject me to further "troubles."

Bradley,
My main concern is with E4 resources for two reasons.
1. One resource (can't remember which one right now) caused problems on certain types of searches, so I sure don't want that added back in.
2. Many E4 resources were thankfully released by Logos and ober the years I was able to delete the duplicate E4 title's such as Pink, Spurgeon, Loyd-Jones, E4 strongs and others. If you add these back it, it will be a major pain sifting out duplicate resources all over again!
One major help would be if Logos could add a search category for publisher in the Library. Is there any plans to perhaps do this?

Thanks for clarifying the implementation, Bradley.

Logos 4 Beta 7 will provide an option to truly hide resources. (And this will sync to your other computers, so they'll be hidden for you everywhere.)
If I accidently hide a resource or change my mind about hiding that resource is there a means of retieving / unhiding that resource if needed in the future?

Yes, Beta 7 will show the list of hidden resources and allow you to remove items from it (to "unhide" them).
