i just tried to answer this by searching this sub-forum and also by reading the stickys, unsucessfully.

i want to generate a .mobi catalog listed by author, that was easy. but i can't figure out how to include the display of my two custom columns one has either zero stars or one star and the other has zero stars or one star or two stars.

thanks

*****never mind****** solved via a work-a-round (changed the multiple column into two)

I believe Create Catalog still respects Search filters/selected files.

so
Apply a Search that meets your criteria, Then Select All (found)
Create your Catalog of the results

Confirmed (made selected titles EPUB): Still works

Create your Catalog of the resultsi want to create a catalog of all files in the library and for each file listed i want the contents of those two columns included with that entry. i don't understand how what you said can do this?

Sorry,
I thought you wanted the catalog OF those that met the criteria. :smack:

AFAIK custom fields don't get included because 'Catalog' has no way to know What/How or where to place custom fields.

You might (I am not sure custom field data is even available at this level) be able to hack the Catalog template file to meet your custom needs.
