it would be nice if I could make a search term, like "c h spurgeon" in favorites, that would automatically add new books by spurgeon or add all books in my library to a folder with a name I want to name it

    also, add a button that makes it more clear how much I have read of the book, I know it is somewhere, but maybe move it to the front a bit more?

    and

    make the book titles I have read through a different color in the links

    Its not in Favorites but you can do this in Collections

    What exactly are you trying to achieve?

    You can get an indication from the "reading status" column in the Library.

    If you haven't got this enabled, right-click on a column heading and choose it.

    And you can order columns in the Library by dragging them.

    I don't know what you mean by this - please clarify

    Thank you - but where would you want this shown?

    • in the Library if you had opened a book?
    • in the Library if you had "completely read" a book? (would need to define what that means)
    • in a resource when you find a link to a place in a book and if you have followed that link before?

    I'm trying to understand how this relates to the example of a website you have visited and where you would find it useful in the Logos environment.

    if you were to make the metadata dynamic of each book, that data "visited" could follow the ressource everywhere in the program, in favorites, in collections, in library

    I'm still really struggling to understand what you are trying to achieve.

    Can you outline the functionality you are looking for, what you want to do be able to do that you can't do at the moment?

    if I have read a book, I would like to see the link (the book title) displayed in another color so I can see visually that I have read it before

    Thank you - that helps

    To try and refine this a bit further how would you define "read a book"?

    • That you have read it end-to-end in Logos
    • that you have opened it
    • somewhere in between

    Sorry to be pedantic but these things are often difficult to tie down.

    That is ok

    I think it is important to have a timer going too, that says so many minutes per page so it is not just scrolling to the end of the page to fullfill the demands for viewed, mayby it has to be a combination of this, how many pages, add time active, and also some read a book by going to a sertain chapter, and then skip some too, so there could also be a parameter that says (pages / time spendt = chapter read), and the text should also have marks in the code that says, when passing this mark, begin timer, and if time = reading time for page, then mark chapter as read, so it is not a easy question
