File layout reaorganization

I believe the file should be re organized. Currently when you go to file it lists all your files. I know we can search via any file type like visual filter, clippings, etc. But I believe there is a better way to organize it. The current method works good for a limited amount of files, but when you start to use logos for teaching or anything significant you really start to rack the files. Here is what I recommend: When you click file each file it is blank. When you click on clippings all my clippings files come up. When I click on visual filter all my visual filter files display. When I want to add a file of a given type right click and then add file(This is already implemented). What do you guys think.

I wouldn't even mind sing it open in the layout part of the screen almost like a file system. But I agree, definitely needs to be improved.

Hi Robert,

i am in agreement that L4 needs improvement in this area.

=======================================================

But for a work-around until then, if you are running under windows you can download & install an app that i wrote (http://bibl2.clark-tx.net/). One subtle feature in it will allow you to copy links to your Files into a Word docx file. Then you can build a PB for L4.

This is my PB in L4

A. These are my documents as found under Files in L4. i have them sorted alphabetically. i can quickly click in my TOC and get to my Notes or Passage Lists.

B. i also copied and pasted my Notes & PL into organized topics as you can see in the TOC.

i keep this PB on my Shortcut bar so that i can easily drag it anytime into L4 and then find my document(s). Having links to your documents does require me to keep the PB up to date. But i can use the tool to quickly copy/paste from the docx into my PB's docx.

Here is a screenshot of the app (notice the button which allows you to add links to your documents)

After clicking on the above button it opens the window below

In this window you can on the right select which documents you want to view in the grid.
Then when i click on Title it sorts them.
Then i simply click on the Build Docx button.
Then when the docx file opens, i copy the links and paste them into my PB's docx file.
