Enable the option to unhide multiple resources
This was originally posted as a request for enabling the hiding and unhiding multiple resources at once. The former part was adopted. The latter was not. see OP "An easier way to hide and unhide multiple resources rather than one at a time.")
Why this would be helpful is that situations and educational ability change. I hid many resources (1000's) that were in languages I had no interest in at the time but am now interested in. Not to mention Logos' greatly enhanced ability to sift through those resources and fairly inexpensive processing power to perform those functions. Bradly mentioned in reply to OP "why frequently hiding and unhiding batches is necessary," to which I say it is not. I have no desire to do it frequently. It has been 4-5 years since I have hidden the first batch. It may be 4-5 before I hide (or unhide) another. However, the fact of the matter is that I have changed my mind and would like to have access to those resources and do not really relish click, click, clicking for as long as it would take to do it.
If nothing else, it would lessen the nuclear impact of the previous decision...

I got Logos somewhat recently and am still learning how to use it. A while ago I noticed that most of my resources were suddenly missing from my library--there were less than 100 there when there should have been about 1000, and most of the ones present were in different languages. It took me a while to figure out what was going on. It turns out that earlier, as I was playing around with the settings trying to acquaint myself with the program, I had hidden all the "English" resources en masse. Now I have about 900 resources that I want to unhide. It would take an extremely long time for me to unhide them all one-by-one, especially because of the computer lag time it takes to hide just one resource. If there is a way to hide so many resources at once, there really needs to be a way to unhide them too.

I also changed my mind regarding some resources I have hidden. It's easy and quick to unhide resources when it comes to one, two or three; but it would be really stressful to unhide hundreds of resources one by one.
