Please Logos Synchronize PBBs.
Logos has promised Synchronization of PBBs on other devices long ago.I don't know why it has taken so long. It would be very nice, so that we may be able to enjoy reading our personal books on our mobile devices as well.
Blessings in Christ.

Yes please. I am with you Tes on that. I would really like to have this feature. Most of my reading is done on iPad. It would really be great to have our PB books synced.

When you purchase a resource from Logos, they have it on their servers. The neat trick is that Logos can have ONE copy of the resource (with redundancies for backups of course) and THOUSANDS can have access to the one file (with the appropriate licenses). Personal books flips this around. A single book may require THOUSANDS of files stored on the Logos servers (one for each user… the files all being user created / owned and perhaps slightly different). As you can imagine, this isn't a cheap undertaking for Logos. This isn't simply a matter of making the software work… there are financial and legal considerations… And I haven't even mentioned the possibility of legal troubles for Logos if customers upload resources improperly (copyright issues - without publisher permission). There are other potential solutions: Perhaps Logos could allow users to use their own personal DROPBOX account (or similar service). I think this might be a great option… but there are some drawbacks:
- It would be more complicated for end users. (Do you know how to use dropbox?)
- It would add significantly to support issues. (Most users would likely need help). This could be costly for Logos as well.
- If they choose Dropbox (or another provider), what happens if it goes out of business?
- Would there be a cost to Logos to allow L5 Dropbox access? (I don't know)
- What happens if Dropbox (or another provider) changes terms of service? There would certainly be MANY unhappy Logos users… who would be angry with Logos!
I hope I am wrong about these hurdles… I really would like to see my personal books on my iPad as well. But I am not holding my breath for its immediate release… I will, however, jump up and down for joy with y'all when the day comes. [:D]

Thank you Alabama for your great explanation. I agree it is very complex issue but I hope Logos will find some solution. [:)]

I'll add my amen to this as well. Although I understand the complexities it will be very helpful.
Let me ask a related question. If storage is the issue would any of us be willing to pay for the storage of personal books? Although I don't like subscriptions the convenience of having Logos keep the backups would be tempting.

Maybe in the interim something easy could be done as a workaround to at least make things easier ont he desktop Logos?
Since it is a very complex implementation, yet that we can do it manually without a recompile by:
1. Letting the metadata sync between computers
2. Copy the compiled LBSPBB file(s) from our ResourceManager/Reources file to someplace on the destination computer
3. SCAN the folder containing the LBSPBB file,
maybe Logos could give us a simple workaround that lets us define a folder to copy to (say make this a Program Settings), which would be a SkyDrive, Dropbox, GoogleDrive, network folder etc. shared folder, and then:
1. Whenever a Compile of a PBB happens, if the new folder setting has a value, copy the resulting LBSPBB to it
2. Implement a simple Command Box command that would go to that folder, and effectively do a SCAN behind the scenes?Call it "SCANPBB"?
you could even kick off this SCANPBB of the folder when metadata came across indicating that a PBB was compiled, as all computers know it - it says "Last compiled: Today" on all computers when the metadata arrives?
This would be a great workaround eliminating a lot a extra PBB compiles, and wondering if I have current xopies on both/all computers at least on the desktop!

Actually, a number of forum users (including me) are doing this now, since the metadata does sync among desktops. My situation is between two Win 8 machines, so I don't know for sure how well it would work between Win and Mac desktops. See Keep Smiling 4 Jesus 's comment in this thread (http://community.logos.com/forums/p/42036/313026.aspx#313026) for the procedure.
What I think the OP and most commenters are referring to is syncing to the mobile devices (and perhaps Biblia/Faithlife.
It would be nice of we could do some similar manual process for mobile devices, in the interim.

Apple iOS apps are "sandboxed." Apple is very cautious about allowing apps to share data. Android is more open, and files can be "side loaded."

You comments make a lot of sense. I think Logos needs to reconsider the idea of syncing Personal Books on their servers, and come up with some way for each user to directly add / sync Personal Books to the iPad / iPhone / Android devices. And this needs to be done soon. It remains a promise not kept, and a real disappointment to many. It reflects poorly on the company in the eyes of many.

I am not sure but it looks to me iPad is able to see any files in dropbox/skydrive/googledisk etc. cloud location, although not allowing to do whatever you like with it. If Logos for iOS would be able to get PB resources from the cloud location and download it the way GoodReader (to name just one) does, the problem would be solved. You would download to your iOS Logos just the PB books you want, the same way you do from the Logos servers with the regular resources. Just an idea.

As much as I hope for Synchronisation, I have several resources where I have publisher consent to use locally, but not share or to store on a 3rd party server (cloud/logos)
A default share everything where the PB resides on Logos server, would breach the usage agreement I have with them, I also want synchronisation but want control over what gets uploaded,

I'm not an iOS expert but just trying to understand how this could work.
I understand that you can see the PB document in Dropbox (or some other cloud client) which - with some sort of PB reader - would enable you to open it and read it but - for it to be fully within the Logos environment - you would also need some "Save as" option (just as you do for Pages, for example) which would move it into the Logos environment. This, I expect, would be a major undertaking and probably break a few architectural and design principles (just speculating)
But without this, you just have a standalone document which you can read but is not searchable or integrated at all. And if this is the case I don't see how it adds much value over using the .docx file which was used to generate the PB in the first place.
Thoughts?

The best and most elegant way to do it in this case would be to have a feature in the Library (as we have already with the regular resources) to be able to mark those PB books we want (and are allowed by the publisher) to see on our iPad/iPhone/Android... and yes, WP8 in the future (please!) and in this case Logos 5 (and iOS Logos) would use predefined (in the Setup page?) cloud location to sync the marked PB resource. I know it is complicated but... looks doable. Or am I mistaken?

No Graham, sorry for the confusion. I am not even thinking about any other way of reading the PB resources, except Logos. Logos is the only tool we should think about in this case. But the way to get the resource from cloud to Logos looks similar to me like in the case of other tool (GoodReader etc.) do with, let's say, docx or pdf.
You would mark the PB resource in Library (in Logos 5) for download to your mobile device and Logos 5 and mobile Logos would work with the predefined cloud location to manage it for us.
I think the ideal location would be Logos servers (may be we can pay some fee for the cloud room on their servers? And than being able to use it even for our other purposes, just as we use Dropbox etc.? Just another idea...)

Who pays for the space to store the files? Us or Logos?
What is fair use for me on my CPU might get Logos prison terms and large fines just for storing the file even it is encrypted in a way that Logos can not read it. [[what will the jury rule???]]
Also as alabama24 confirmed the mobile devices do not allow us to just transfer files to them at will. And that APPS are not the same a programs in that they are limited as to what they can do. [[They are little computers but the manufactures have locked them up so that we can only do what they allow - we had compilers for our Apple ][, Radio Shack TRS80 and all the other computers in the early 1980s but these far more powerful mobile units are locked up! [or we are locked out] ]]

Apparently what some of us do on the desktop isn't practicable on the mobile devices, irrespective of nanny-behavior on the part of the phone/tablet fathers.
I was perusing the directories on my Android and comparing it with L5 on my Win 8 machine. While the resource files in L5 are in one folder, and presumably, the metadata and other data are likely stored in databases elsewhere, on the Android each resource has its own folder and within that, various folders/files for the resource itself (which is the same file on both devices) and all the other ancillary data.
However, I suspect that what is not practicable for users could probably be done by Logos.

Yes, that seems preferable and the system already exists (with marking for download to the mobile devices in Logos 5 Library). If they need much more space on the servers for providing that, they can consider us paying for getting one (and they can even limit it per person for let's say free using, you would pay for an extra space, if needed). That might be a good way to backup our sermons in PB format also.

There are many applications that allow for the transfer of files into an iDevice (and even less restrictively an android.
For iOS (since thats what I currently have), Just quickly looking at the applications I have instaleld, one can use Dropbox, airshare, evernote, inclass, email and logmein ignition to bring files into the device.
Some of these require interaction with iTunes (evernote?, inclass, airshare?), others allow you to drag and drop files into a folder on your computer, and they sync to your laptop (dropbox et al).
I would think it would be a relatively simple thing for a coder to write an application that does the following: Index the pbb file names on the local device, Compare this list to the other devices on the LAN, and copy across the network any files that individual machines lack, then re-check the lists to ensure there is no redundancy. In this way, if I have a PBB on my cell, that isn't on my ipad, or laptop, then it would propagate out to the other devices (either automatically behind the scenes, or when intentionally triggered by myself).
This is predicated on the idea that each PBB would be given a locally unique file name.
It could/should be tied in to our logos account name/require a pw to be entered on each device like pairing with bluetooth, so that we don't inadvertently pirate things others legally can own.
Logos servers would be kept out of the loop entirely. It would cost us nothing either. Liability is ours, and ours alone (though there should be an AUP we have to agree to when we activate the feature).
IF Logos insists upon using their servers to administer the PBB syncing, perhaps they should explore the use of something like/related to an MD5 hash. In this way, if someone was using a file that had the same hash as one of logos for sale resources, then they could stop the file from syncing out to the other devices. Not sure what would constitute due diligence on their behalf. But if that proved reliable, then it would be worthwhile.L2 lvl4 (...) WORDsearch, all the way through L10,

Good morning Tes,
As many computers that you want.Tes said:1.How many computers could be synced
Tes said:2.How do you backup your data to the cloud &external drive, I would like to have some more detail insights.
This program lets you to create a job that lets you sync two folders. These folders can be on the same computer, different computers, external drive, or a folder on Google Drive or some other cloud base storage. (NOTE: It does not work with all cloud services like box.com). You can have as many jobs as you need to sync/backup your data. I think that I have about 20 or so. For an example, I have a job that syncs my Logos PB between my computers, and I have another job that backs up my L5 resource folder to an external drive.
I have good sync running on only one computer, so that computer needs to have (and does) access to everything. For this to happen, they need to be connected together on the same network (both computers need to be home, one cannot be home and one cannot be at the office).
This is just the way that I have it setup. You can run GoodSync on any number of computers if they were not connected to the same network. For an example, I could have my GoodSync running on my laptop at work and on my desktop at home. In this case, I would need to use a cloud solution like Google Drive. Each computer will need to sync the data on its hard drive to the cloud.
I hope this helps.

TesTes, one thing I do is the following (very easy) steps:
1... I backup my PBB files by filtering them from my Logos... \Resources folder to a special backup folder on the external drive (or USB flash disk).
2... I make sure I always do any changes to PBB resources only on my main laptop (I backup PBBs from). ALso any new PBBs I create only on that laptop.
3... after any changes to PBBs done on my main laptop and after I do a fresh backup of my PBB files, I go to my secondary laptop and connect the external HDD (or USB Flash disk) and copy those PBB files from the backup folder to Logos... \Resources folder and overwrite those existing files with the newer versions of PBB files.
To filter the PBB files you need to look for all files with .lbspbb file extension (Just one example: 0cc58843319640049d1d446023f4fa69.lbspbb)
The Resources folder you can find in the following path: C:\Users\{your unique user name folder}\AppData\Local\Logos5\Data\{unique folder name}\ResourceManager\Resources
I hope it helps.

Does rebuilt PBB always get the same file name?
[and any idea how that random looking list of characters relates to the file? That is if you change the PBB name or the name of the docx file will it still be built in that same lbspbb file?]

I am not sure how it works and have no time now to check it but I have copied those files many times and new Logos installation just accepted those files and I haven't had to rebuild them. Metadata are just synced via Logos servers.
