Multiple Libraries

senobe · 11-18-2015, 03:18 PM

Hi.

i am using multiple libraries to organize my e-books. Since CC doesn't maintain multiple libraries i added a new column with the library name (found here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=243394))

Now i like to add subgroups such as author, tags, genre and series. In the end it should look like:

Groups
>Library

>>Library A
>>>Author
>>>Tag
>>>Genre
>>>Series

>>Library B
>>>Author
>>>Tag
>>>Genre
>>>Series

Every subgroup should have another subgroup like Author/Tag/Series A-Z.

I hope you understand what i mean. English is not my native language :-)
Is there a way to do that? And do i do that in calibre or in CC?

Why not just search for all books from a "library"?

Then you will only see those books, further broken down by the usual groups.

@senobe: you cannot do what you describe in CC. There is no way to put all the groups below a library name.

However, you can easily do what eschwartz suggests by adding your "library" column to the grouping drawer and using long-press search as described in this FAQ answer. Long-pressing on a library name will make CC show only books from that library.
