Any plans for custom book titles in Passage Guide?

Are there any tentative plans to add this feature on Android? On the desktop I have renamed many of my commentaries to include the series name in the title so that when I run the Passage Guide and have multiple commentaries called "the pastoral epistles," for example, I can see which set each volume belongs to. It would be nice to have this feature available on Android as well if possible. It might also help me to identify which commentaries are already downloaded on my device and which ones will potentially require mobile data to open. Thanks for the consideration.

    Not that I am aware of.

    On Mobile, the Passage Guide requires an internet connection and does not access local resources.  If you want to determine which resources are downloaded to your Android device enter "local:" into the Library reference field.

    Hi Matthew:

    My experience is that name changes made in the desktop Logos syncs to the Android Apps. In this example I changed Hodge and Berkhof. Is that what you mean?  [Edit:  didn't see Kevin's reply before I posted.]

    Yes, the Passage Guide requires Internet access to run, but my point had more to do with opening the resources listed by it. If I have two commentaries that both show up simply as "Mark," and one of them is already on my device and the other is not, then opening one of those links will require data, as the book will need to download in order to view, whereas opening the other link simply opens a resource that has previously been downloaded. The "local:" field is irrelevant in the context of the Passage Guide and identifying which results are already downloaded. It can only be used on the library screen as far as I know. Can it be used elsewhere?

    No, I am referring to the results listed in the Passage Guide. Custom titles only show up in the library on mobile, not in the guides.

    Here is an example of what I am talking about and why custom names would be helpful.
