Can I choose a book to be hidden from search results and/or from viewing in my library?

I'm sorry if this has been asked or is a stupid question. I couldn't really find it when I searched the forums.

I am a definite newbie with Logos, I'm going on 2+ weeks of having it. I want to know if there is a way to keep a book or books from showing up in my searches and maybe even from viewing in my library. I also recently downloaded some books from the Perseus collection (I guess I'm a sucker for free stuff). I'm interested in the books in the collection that are in english, but don't care to ever use the ones that are in latin.

I'd like to hide them or something. I am still becoming familiar with what books are even in my library. So scrolling past hundreds of latin books is not my idea of a good time Smile . I'm very excited to be using Logos and it's already helped in my study time, but I'm starting to regret the Perseus download.

Is there a great way to organize the library besides just prioritizing resources?

Is there a way to fix this or some kind of workaround? Any help is appreciated.

In Him,

Chris

FYI I'm using a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and a desktop running Windows XP.

Hey Chris, welcome to the forums!

In the program settings there is a place where you can hide books. This will remove them from your library and your hard drive. See: http://wiki.logos.com/Hiding_Books

Chris - First, welcome to the forums!

Let me try to answer your questions… First, Logos has a feature called "hidden books." I think this is not the best name for it, because it removes the books from your computer (but not mobile device) rather than hides them.

If you really don't want some books, you can call Logos and they will REMOVE them from your account.

As for searches: If a book is hidden or if the license is removed, it will not appear in a search. Otherwise, you will need to learn more about searching and prioritization to keep those books from showing.

Thanks Kevin,

I'll take a look at your link and do a little library housekeeping.

Does hiding them remove them from my account completely? I'm mostly asking for future reference.

Thanks Again,

Chris

Thank you as well. Sorry I didn't see your post when I sent my last response.

I guess that answered my other question.

Hiding books doesn't remove them from your account, just from your hard disk. You can "unhide" them if you ever decide you want them again. The wiki page on hiding books explains about this.

There's also a Tip in that page with a link to an explanation about how to hide books in groups of 10, which you might want to do for the Perseus ones as it would take a long time to hide thousands of them one at a time. There's no way at this time to hide more than 10 books at a time, though that is a feature that has been requested.
