Result:
I picked #4, and added 2 tweaks: one that combines collections and another that creates new search terms grouping existing ones.
Example:
- Assume custom fields #myseries and mybool.
- Assume two books:
1. Title: Title1, Series: foo[1], #read: Yes, #myseries: bar[2]
2. Title: Title2, Series: bar[1], #read: Undefined, #myseries: mumble[1]
- Assume device customization 'make collections from': series, #mybool, #myseries
- Assume Metadata Management=Automatic
- Assume column headings #read:'Read' and #myseries:'My Series'
Default case (no tweaks set):
Collections on device:
- 'foo' contains Title1
- 'bar' (contains Title2
- 'bar (My Series)' contains Title1
- 'mumble (My Series)' contains Title2
- 'Yes (Read)' contains Title1
Case with tweak set merging series and #myseries collections:
- 'foo' (contains Title1)
- 'bar' (contains Title2 and Title1)
- 'mumble' (contains Title2)
- 'Yes (Read)' contains Title1
Case with tweak merging series and #myseries, renaming the collection source to 'Zap':
- 'foo (Zap)' (contains Title1)
- 'bar (Zap)' (contains Title2 and Title1)
- 'mumble (Zap)' (contains Title2)
- 'Yes (Read)' contains Title1
In addition, I added a tweak to create new search terms that search multiple existing categories. This permits creating a search term that in the above example would search both 'series' and '#myseries'. For example, the tweak
"'myseries':['series', '#myseries']" creates a search term 'myseries'. Searching for 'myseries:bar' will find both Title1 and Title2.
The search term tweak will appear in the next calibre release. The custom field collections stuff will be in a beta that will come out in a week or so.
