Warning Label Solution:

the functionality is there - it is called tags. you are welcome to tag each and every resource in your library and perform searches accordingly.As an added bonus, you can provide the fruit of your labor of love to the community, so those, who are interested in "your opinion" can have your tags without having to do due diligence themselves.

When I read books, I ALWAYS assume that the views contained therein may be different from mine. your argument "make Logos tag each book to protect the innocent" takes away the inherent responsibility of the reader and places it unjustifiably on the librarian (Logos). Logos already CLEARLY labels the author, title, publisher of every resource. you are expecting it to spoonfeed and burp the reader [;)]

Well said Jack, incredibly well said.

This way you can search, and filter out the chaff from the wheat.  ( or on the occasion that you want to research another denomination, you can exclusively find chaff )

 

handy?

Are you aware Logos has already provided us with a way to hide resources we do not wish to see?  The whole idea behind tagging, hiding, and collections is having the ability to filter out "chaff."  Do you need help with hiding resources?

Re: my request on 'Did you read my post on COST' 

quote from "Luigi Sam"  ""I just figured you were being a tease or were irritated. ( apologies if I figured wrong ) ""

Here I was trying to take you serious.  And as you had mentioned cost of advertising I was wondering if you had considered the cost of labels. And who pays?

I had also asked if you had reviewed the program [Logos/Verbum] and listed everywhere that labels would affect the output.  [an analysis that needs to be done before we can even start to figure out the cost.   Just adding a label is only the first step - then we need to change the program to use the labels.

[[I, having been reading this forum since when L4 was released and I don't think that labels will work [from much that I have learned reading here] and having been a programmer [Including Analysis and Design Changes] for 40 years think that it will be very very expensive.  Some resources might take an employee a week to research [what category was the author in when he they wrote it and does it matter? - just because an author normally writes in one way does not guarantee that that author's next book will also be in the same category] [will one person be able to make the call on the correct label or will it need a large multi-denominational conference?] [do we then require the publishers to put those labels on their advertising and hard copies?] [will some call that censorship or claim free speech rights?] ]]

[[I had L4 Platinum and I upgraded to L5 Platinum [Diamond was out of my price range] and I also have Verbum Capstone - I review every hit - takes months and have learned that what I have been told about others is not always true - and is often dead wrong]]  

In some other posts I was trying to get you to see other alternative thinking - ||Catholic / All Others|| instead of ||Catholic / Protestant||  [there are Christians that are not Catholic and also not Protestant]

 Besides no system of warning labels that Logos could create would universally work for everyone. Best to tag your own resources the way you like them as to which ones you trust a lot vs. a little vs. not at all. It'll take you time to familiarize yourself with all your resources. But that is time well spent.

I was going to say something very similar. 

DIRECT Question to "Luigi Sam"   Is the issue that you want Logos to do the labeling and are not willing to do it yourself as suggested?  

If we or Logos rated all the resources for you it saves you time   [[but it drives the cost way up.]]   And you will not always agree with our rating.

It you do it yourself you will know that it was done right. Yes, it will take you time but as you use a resource you can add it to the correct collection and work as above.

For starters do as ST suggested.  Talk to your spiritual adviser.  Start with their suggestions and no others.  Then, as you get more sure in your faith, branch out.

Hi David,

My Question is: will these extra collections become sub collections of the commentary collection?

Step one: What thread am I in: Warning Label Solution:    [Warning I made some edits to the ‘’quotes’’ that I do not think change their meaning as needed for this post]

What did : Rosie suggest:::

You'd create collections for your favored and unfavored resources using (tagging or the star rating system). For example, you might have a collection called "Nasty Heathenish Nonsense":

What was asked: will these extra collections become sub collections of the commentary collection?::

Experiment number 1: Can one add collections to a collection?

Start up Logos 5,   make a collection A, make a collection B, Make a collection C and add A and B to it

Check wiki for help on merging collections 

http://www.logosbiblesoftwaretraining.com/other-videos/collections-and-prioritising/#desc-8145864

Not automatically, you would have to add them to the super-collection [C above] [have you watched the videos?]

Having separated ‘the Good, the bad, and the ugly’ [one of my favorite western movies]  but once made you can easily combine those collections in to a larger collection.   They will ACT as sub collections; if you use C (above) any changes you make to A (above) would be seen the next time you use C in a search.

Collections require US to do the work and are only a start on what you have requested but they can limit what is searched [Yes, the bad and the ugly might show up when expanding what was found in the good only search] BUT as YOU entered the list of the ‘good’ items you will become very familiar with that list and soon you will be able to almost automatically ignore all other resources that might pop up [if not on MY good list then don’t open]  - it is a start and it is under your control.

Hi David,

thanks for your time.

Replying just so that you know that I am not ignoring you as you have already received very good answers 

“”You cannot suppress subcollections in the collection lists - but if you have used a decent naming convention that doesn't really become an issue. “”

“”All collections show up in collections list in alphabetical order.  When have many collections, have to scroll down list so a number of collections are hidden from view when list appears.”” 

Thus you have to plan your collections by using a well defined naming conventions

My simple example of A and B being subsets of C is not a good naming convention as A and B get listed first.  Also when you get to using many subsets you want a convention that lists all of the final collections first.

First pass at such a plan:  Name all final collection as “AAA real name” and all subsets as “zzz real name sub one”, “zzz real name sub two”.  Then the subsets sort at the end of the list and you can keep track of which are subsets.  [[this needs more work – this is only the first pass – you will want to plan out all of your collections into your naming convention – what ones will you use the most and how to get them to list first [AAA, AAB, AAC, AAD as prefixes? Maybe – short but force sort in the order wanted] ]]

Also as, in your case, some of the subsets will be used more often then the supper sets:  the AAA and zzz naming becomes too simple.  Just ask yourself What will I use most and how will all the sets be related.  It sometimes helps if you have had some programming experience to think this all though. Be willing to rename all of your collections when your first try no longer works.
