Be careful updating icons in that folder. Calibre resizes the image when it copies it. All icons in that folder must be 128 bits in their longest dimension. |

I have the following saved search to identify 'books' that I don't have in some form or another.
Code:
formats:"false" and not comments:"Book is Here" In addition to (or maybe instead of) the saved search I would like to have a column in the spreadsheet that would show something like , otherwise nothing would show I've tried a couple of things but I failed to get a result - maybe someone can teach an old dog a new trick TIA - BR |

@chaley absolutely fabulous mate.
I should print the template language bit of the manual and sit the garden and read it - if it stops raining. Am I right in assuming that one cannot attach multiple icons to a single column - be good if one could. Whilst doing this and a couple of related changes, I inadvertently ticked a long text column in the Preferences->Custom Columns dialogue. I was under the impression that such columns cannot be shown in the spreadsheet so I was shocked to see the column name sitting in the column titles. Obviously you cant see much of the content, but if you hover on it then its content shows as a 'tool tip', and if you double click or F2 on it you can edit it in a free standing comment editor. Now I can edit everything, except Comments, from the spreadsheet Which begs the question, if custom comment columns can appear in the spreadsheet and be edited from within it, then why not the built in Comments column - why should it be an exception. Thanks again. BR |

One possibility: create a column per icon using one of the types that does not appear in the tag browser, e.g., int. This sort of column has almost zero impact on calibre's performance. You would leave the value empty (or perhaps not) and set the width to be just enough to contain the icon. Everything would line up nicely, and the pattern of icons might convey as much information as the icons themselves. Quote:

Thanks again for your help, once again I stumbled on something else when you answered one of of my questions - that's happened on at least two previous occasions. "Here's looking at you, kid" BR Last edited by BetterRed; 09-16-2013 at 07:29 AM. |

This discussion between you (BetterRed and Chaley) seems interesting, but I'm not sure I understand the written explanation of the results. Is it possible to get a small screenshot of the resulting icon columns from either of you? Doesn't have to be real data, a mock-up of the results will do.

Note that the new multiple icons support in today's calibre release might obviate this technique, although perhaps not. The multiple icons stuff doesn't have the spatial aspect that the multiple narrow columns approach has. |

The attachments show icons as a group and column icon rules. The first two columns relate to Custom Columns that are Comments-like. I like this because I don't have use the Edit Metadata dialogue - I just F2 the relevant cell and a free standing Edit Comments box pops up - see third attachment @chaley - it would be good it the dialogue shown in attachment 3 displayed the Custom Column Name in the title bar - eg "Edit Content Metadata" BR |

be-ewe-dee-full - thanks
Not sure that I could replace my adjacent narrow columns with the new multiple icon feature, I like the ability to F2 an icon and edit whatever's behind it. Maybe I can find some obscure use or other for them. br Last edited by BetterRed; 09-21-2013 at 07:44 AM. |

BetterRed,
Thanks for the info and images. I will have to give the idea time to simmer and see what arises from the depths. Thanks also for suggesting that the stand-alone Edit Comment dialog should appear with a column/field name associated with it. Otherwise I would definitely end up entering the wrong data into the field. |
