IVP Dictionaries
I finally got around to prioritizing my IVP dictionaries (e.g.--Jesus and the Gospels, Paul and his letters, etc.) and while trying to set prioritization limits for each the only option is "English". I would obviously like to set them for the books of the Bible for which they are named but there is no option for that limit.
Am I missing something or is this an issue that just needs the tech team to revamp that section of the resources?
I am also sure this is not the first time this has been addressed so I don't mean to expose old skeletons but I just didn't have time to sift through all the other posts to see if this issue is addressed.
Anyway, love the resources, just would like to set those limits on them.

Apologies: not know how to set advanced prioritization to prefer IVP dictionaries within different Bible books.
Looking at IVP's Dictionary of Jesus and the Gospels and Dictionary of Paul and His Letters noted 2 indexes: Page and English Headwords so advanced prioritization only shows English for type.
By the way, many articles in IVP's dictionary include verse references to other Bible Books; several include extra-biblical information (e.g. Religons, Greco-Roman article => logosres:dpl;ref=Page.p_786;off=2037 )

Hi JR
I am going to show my ignorance now.
I have never heard of 'prioritisation limits' so cannot help you - I have not seen them discussed before either.
Would it be possible for you to post a screen shot of what you are trying to accomplish?
In general when I have a series to prioritise just dragging one of the series prioritises the whole series and each part of the series responds only when appropriate.

The limits doesn't appear to have a drop down value, but it appears one can enter it:
see http://wiki.logos.com/Prioritizing for details
Well, then again don't because it enters "Bible" where the dropdown insists on English. You might want to change the title line to BUG.

Also known as advanced prioritization; forum thread => searching strong's numbers has couple screen shots showing Lexicon prioritization, including Type in a resource so pop-ups within DBL dictionaries for Strong's numbers show Enhance Strong's Lexicon (instead of DBL's entry).

Unfortunately, the Advanced prioritization features do not function for dictionaries the way that you want them to.
Every non-monograph resource has different types of data that it specializes in. For Greek Lexicons it's Greek headwords/lemmas and perhaps Strong's numbers. For dictionaries like the IVP Dictionaries it is English Article titles, otherwise known as headwords.
Think of it this way, you navigate around commentaries by Bible verses so you can set Advanced prioritzation limits on Bible verses. This allows you to specify which commentary the program reaches for when you execute a keylink on a specific book of the Bible for example. You navigate around a dictionary (no matter what the type) by article title, so since these dictionaries are in English can only set advanced priorization limits for English headwords in them.
Does that make sense or should I try to explain it in a different way?
