Hiding Resources Question

I downloaded and installed Beta 7. I then moved a number of resources to hidden resources, closed, then reopened L4. Unfortunately those resources still show up in the Library even though they are listed in the hidden resources section. Here are four of them:

 

I am still downloading the updated resources and reindexing of my Library has not occurred (as far as I know).

Is something wrong or do I need to wait for all the resources to download and for reindexing to occur?

    Someone else has reopted a worse situation in that none of his disappeared.

    All of mine did disappear (including these 4 resources) and also the "hidden" ones also disappeared our of the "minus these resources" section of a Collection (creator).

    Actually none of mine disappeared, either. I took a screen shot of just four of them. I moved about 140 resources to 'hidden' but they aren't hidden.

    My guess is that you are in a situation we should have foreseen; unfortunately, resource hiding went in towards the end of the beta cycle and we didn't have time to work out all the ramifications.

    The issue most likely is that resources don't actually get hidden until the next time your library is prepared (and it should be very quick to do so). However, if the indexer is currently running, we don't restart it just because you restarted the app. (If you had just 5 resources to go, for example, that would be very bad timing.) Your resources are scheduled to be hidden, but that won't take effect until restarting the app after the indexer finishes. Preparing and indexing should then take under a minute (hopefully, well under).

    Please let me know if you don't see them hidden after the indexer finishes indexing.

    Also if you have your libarry listed in the detailed list view instead of the simple list view it won't work.  Try clicking the button in the My Library drop down that toggles the view.

    They have disappeared now - I think there must have a been a "prepare library" cycle between my original post and now.

    I'll hide a few more and see what happens.

    UPDATE: I deleted a few more, and restarted, and a "prepare libary" cycle was triggered, and the hidden resources were no longer visible.

    After the reindexing and reopening L4 the resources are now hidden.
