Cool! Logos just (unwittingly) implemented a workaround for one of my most oft-requested features

I've been begging them for a way to select and copy the resource description from the Info pane. See here and here.

Well, I just saw the new Recommend feature in the Info panel in resources, which was added in 4.5b Beta 6:

If you click the Email icon, it opens up an email message with the description from that resource in the body of the message. So you can just copy it from there and paste it to wherever you wanted it.

    ROSIE:

    Testing the "Recommend" feature. English Standard Version The English Standard Version™ is founded on the conviction

    When you posted the above on the beta site I was not aware that you had found the "recommend" feature here in he newly released Logos4 Beta 6.

    As mentioned on the FLSB beta site - when I clicked on your link it only took me to my Biblia dot com site with a esv Bible opened to a chapter in Romans. I was expecting to be taken to a "frontspiece" or soem press release advertising materials.

    Having now seen what "recommendation" is all about, I now assume what I experienced is "normal" expected behaviour? ie. You "recommend" and then when I click to respond, I then will (merely) see/read from wherever the recommended resource happens to open?

    Thanks

    Regards, SteveF

    Steve, I have no idea what the "Recommend" feature is supposed to do. I was just testing it to see what it would do.

    Ah, sorry. I had assumed that as you had "quoted" some text that it would "jump" to it.

    I guess that was because earlier "Bible" refs had worked in that manner.

    Thanks for the clarification!

    Nope, all I did was clicked on the Faithlife Recommend button in the info panel in the ESV. And then I prefaced what it put there with my own comment "Testing the 'Recommend' feature" before posting.
