Is there a way to put a library shortcut at the top of Logos 6 such that when I click it, it'll open my library with the Find Box pre-filled? Thanks!

    No, but you can create a Collection and drag it to your Favorites. Then when you click on the favorite, it will open the collection to your filter for your library.

    Edit:

    Once that you have created a Favorite for your collection, then you can drag that favorite to the Shortcut bar and it will do what you want (see image below)

    Thanks, Steve. That sounds like a good workaround.

    Similar to Steve's suggestion, you can also open the library to a specific collection (rather than the collections tool):

    1. Create the collection you want.
    2. Open the History tool, and the Library.
    3. In the Library, select the Collection you want to filter by.
    4. That will create an entry at the top of the History Tool. Now drag that entry to your shortcuts bar. The shortcut will open your library directly to that collection.

    Mark,

    That is a great tip!

    i found that using History items even works with Searches and retains all the settings with which you used in the search. This is something that i have longed for in the past (the ability to save specific searches in favorites). Saving these searches aids me in reconstructing (or documenting) a research project!

    Thanks!

    Edit:

    Now if we could just get FL to incorporate all these parameters into their URL's so we could add them into our PBBs.
