One of my two favourite new features!
Have you pre-ordered A Catholic Introduction to the Bible: The Old Testament yet?
I agree! This is a huge timesaver that will save me from unnecessarily clicking through many of the commentaries that happen to be in my library.
I strongly urge Faithlife to complete tagging of the commentaries, especially the Type and Era taggings. Is there any way we can help expedite this tagging process? Can we help fill out a spreadsheet to speed up the process?
Yeah, this is easily one of the best new features of L9. Love it!

A lot of the commentaries are still not tagged accordingly (or without tag at all). Especially under the "year" part, which should be the minimum for all commentaries tag.
There are more commentaries that aren't included in the subcategories than the ones are tagged in the subcategories.

I like the fact that I now know which commentary is which, a long-standing frustration. I don't think I'll use the different ways to sort the commentaries very often, but labeling the commentaries will be quite helpful.

Yes and no. In my library, and I imagine most other libraries that are much smaller than yours, almost all of them have era tagging. Denominational tagging is much less far advanced. Faithlife has affirmed that they're actively working on this. I suggest reporting any mistakes that you may find.

Can someone explain to me what drives how the commentary titles appear in the new guides?
It doesn't seem to use consistently either the long or short titles in my library. I used to edit my commentary titles so that they appear similarly in the commentary guides, but that is not the case anymore....

I love dark mode on my ipad but it didn't function well for me on my MacBook. I had trouble reading the headings in the Omasticon. Any issues on your end?
I can confirm that the headings below each section is white on white.

Sure! It uses (in order):
We are judicious in coming up with series abbreviations, following the SBL style guide for the most part (iirc).
Eli Evans (Faithlife): Sure! It uses (in order): Series abbreviation (new metadata added to commentary resources);
Are you already planning to expose this new metadata as a column in the Library panel shortly (like Abbreviated Title), or should I add that request to feedback.faithlife.com?

Technologically speaking, it's a resource "trait" so probably part of if/when we expose those to the library, but I haven't heard about this one specifically. Never wrong to add things to feedback.faithlife.com.

BUMP.
@Sean (or whoever is responsible for this work), can you please prioritize and see to it that many more commentaries are tagged for the revamped Commentaries section in the Passage Guide?

Concur customized commentary titles no longer appear for Series resources (not like). Please Vote/Comment => Commentary Guides: Add Abbreviated Title after "Abbreviated Series" OR Series
A number of Commentary Series have more than one volume for Bible Book(s). Revamped Commentary Guide shows Series, Passage, Author(s) so requesting change to show Series, Volume (preferably Abbreviated Title), Passage, Author(s). Personally have customized Abbreviated Title to include year of content, which now does not appear in Commentary Guides. Forum reply => https://community.logos.com/forums/p/194962/112853… includes a screen shot showing a couple series having more than one volume.
