so, if in L4 I have seen over 2200 volumes, but now I see 2185, i don't have to worry?

Not at all! You're completely safe!

Hi,
I am also having an issue with missing L4 Resources on a new install of Logos 4. I got some fabulous advice from Jon on the first page of this thread, about using "WinMerge" to help narrow down the issue.
Jon said:I suggest installing something like WinMerge, a free and open source file comparing program. Then either 1) copy your Logos 4 resources directory on one of the computers to eg a usb key, or 2) if they're networked; share the resource directory on the network.
Run WinMerge -> Open -> Enter the paths to the two resource directories and run a compare. (It will be faster if you go into Options -> Compare and change the file compare setting to Date modified and Size rather than full file compare.)
This will take probably about 5-10 minutes all up, but it will tell you exactly what files are in the one with 3999 that aren't in the one with 3965 without having to go through them manually; post up what you discover here and maybe it will be come clear what's going on...
In my situation, I had my original Logos 4 install on a Pentium 4 computer with only 1Gig of RAM. Since upgrading to Logos 4 from Libronix 3, I was able to bump my hardware up a notch to an OptiPlex 745 with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4Gig of RAM to see if my Logos 4 performance would improve. At this point, I've only discovered a discrepancy in the number of files when comparing my established Logos 4 Resources directory on the Pentium 4 with my new install of Logos 4 on the OptiPlex 745. I'm sure the bulk of the discrepancy is from some e-Bible libraries that I've purchased independently of Libronix 3 (which I upgraded to Logos 4 on the Pentium 4 computer.) So that when I did a completely new install on the OptiPlex 745, those Resources were not carried over.

As you can see from the "WinMerge" results, there are 56 files that are present in the Logos 4 directory (on the Pentium 4) that was upgraded from Libronix 3. But, the surprising results were that the new install (on the OptiPlex 745) has 5 files that are not included on the original upgrade to Logos 4.
All of this said in order to ask this question: "Would I hurt either installation if I make BOTH directories the same?" In other words, if I copy the 56 that are missing over to the new installation (which are originally from e-Bible libraries on the Pentium 4) and if I copy over the 5 missing files from the new installation (from the OptiPlex 745) to the established installation on the Pentium 4 - will there be any repercussions to either installation, outside of having to re-index?
Thanks, David

Hi Again,
In looking at the WinMerge results again, I came up with
another question. There are 38 files
that are different between the two directories, and as far as I can tell, the
difference is in the file date only.So, would there be a problem with me taking the file with
the NEWEST date from each of the 38 files in question, and overwriting the file
with the older file date - between each of the two directories?Thanks again, David

- type scan E:\Resources (the path of the resources on the USB drive)
- if correct the command will be echoed under Tools. Click that to confirm.
- restart L4
It will do what is necessary, including indexing.
NB. Don't try to be fancy with only putting "missing"/"newer" files on the USB drive as you may miss some important non-Resource files!

Hi Dave,
Thank you so much for your very fast reply to my question!

Fabulous advice, Dave! Thank you so much. My new Logos 4 install on the "new" OptiPlex 745 computer is indexing as I write this! [Y] So that takes care of the 56 files from the old system that were NOT present in the new install of Logos 4. But what do I do about the 5 files present in the "new" install of Logos 4 that are not on my Pentium 4? I supposes it really doesn't make a difference (other than wanting to know how to resolve it), because as soon as I'm sure that Logos 4 is working on the OptiPlex, I will remove Logos 4 from the Pentium 4.
Thanks, David

If you want to do it simply reverse the process ie copy the resource folder of the new system to USB and scan it on the old system!

Who'da thunk it?? You did, obviously!
Peace!
