IPad Logos - library/books filtering
hi,
is there any plan to add filtering and grouping to iPad logos' library view?
for example, some books are in series and the alphabetical ordering is not very helpful.
also, with the latest free series from Logos, Perseus Collection, it flood my iPad
online library view with unorderly list of books that I have to filter through...
(I only want that collection on my PC)...
thanks

Wonder about trying series:name in iPad library ? (replace name with desired series: e.g. Rhetorical)
The iPad library can be filtered like Logos 4 library (e.g. title:, ...)
Apologies: not know how to keep Perseus out of library when online (offline only shows resources downloaded for offline use: airplane mode).
Keep Smiling [:)]
Thanks for the tip. (about trying series:name)
The only catch is... you need to know the series' name. ^_^
besides that... there's still the issue of "looking for new mobile licenses for download" among the MANY MANY unwanted ones (ex, my case with the
Perseus collection and the books' namings are all over the place) .
I saw on another post that there is the ability to hide resources on the computer/PC side, which would get mirrored on the mobile.
Now, assuming that works, can the PC Logos still do searches against those hidden resources? (i'm assuming hidden resources are not searched
against right?)

Albert - I personally HATE the term "hidden" resources. The correct term should be "archived" resources. Currently when you "hide" resources, you don't really "hide" them, you archive the license and remove it from all installations. I would like to see Logos change the nomenclature to what I suggest and ADD a new "hidden" resources feature which would "hide" books in the library and in searches. In a way, what I am wanting is kind of like a reverse prioritization. The resources would still show up, but in a separate section or further down the list. I would also like a reworking of the library to be more like iTunes. I would like to be able to sort my library by multiple criterion (i.e. subject, author, tags, genre, etc.). When I am using iTunes, I may know that I want to listen to a rock, country or jazz album, but may not know which one. I filter by genre. After I do this, I may pick an artist (George Strait) and then browse through the albums. I would like to do the same with the Logos library.

Randal - I don't have my iPad with me right now, but I wonder if you can use "ANDNOT"?

The mobile app is designed to utilize most resources from "the cloud." The resources, unless downloaded, are not actually "on" the mobile app. Since the library shows you all of the resources you have a license to, it is not possible to eliminate them from the mobile library without eliminating your license. Many of us are hoping for a reworking of the library on both the mobile and desktop apps. The ability to organize / filter books more easily would be a big help. Even with a revision, however, the Perseus collection would still be in the mobile library as I suggested above... it would just be easier to filter out.

also...how about a view to see all downloaded books.
...and also a view to see what undownloaded books are there.
