BUG: Perpetual PB download

I created and deleted a PB. It no longer shows up in the list of PB's in the Tools pane. However it was still listed in the resources directory. I deleted it there and when I restarted Logos it automatically downloads again.

It still does not show up on the list of PB's in the Tools pane, but it is back in the resources directory and it shows on the Home Page as an updated resource.

For clarification: The personal book builder tool is the tool for creating personal books. Deleting a book file from the personal book builder tool isn't intended to delete the actual personal book itself.

Do you mean that you "hid" the book (which is what you are supposed to do when you no longer want any kind of book to show up in the library, personal or otherwise)?

I deleted the PB using the tools pane (right click on the title). I then deleted the PB file in the resources directory. For clarification using the delete function in the PB tool works for all other PB's I have created and deleted and continues to work today. What I mean by that is deleting on the PB tools pane removes it from the list of PB's as well as the resources directory. I tested this thoroughly before reporting it as a bug.

Hmm. I have not had need to use that feature often, and I had to use the "hide" feature. It would be good to get clarification on this.

Thanks Mark. I would agree this is likely a result of the previous upload feature. It is quite possible the PB in question is the only one I tried to upload before the feature was removed.

There may be something different on the Mac side, I don't know. It would make sense for the preference be deleting PB's rather than hide them. If they are hidden that means the file would remain on Logos' server. That's fine for the resource files they produce bu to do the same for every users unwanted or obsolete PB's could be a problem once syncing comes out of beta.

I've reported my problem separately because I know exactly when it was uploaded, but the result of removing it is exactly the same.
