Request: Always Show the # of e-books
When Calibre is started without a device, it shows the total number of books in the current Library. That number, however, disappears once a device is added. I would like to request the the number remains with or without a device present.
Please & Thank You. |

Filters are "saved searches"
so type that into the search bar, the save it with the green + at the end of the bar (you can give it a name) That name now is available in the 'Filter box at the Left. (The blank at the top of the list, is how you un-filter). Filters/saved searches are managed in the 'Tag Browser' |

Well I have about 4000 paper books listed in calibre together with about 10000 ebooks (of which about 3000 overlap). I also keep my wishlist in Calibre, and have it set up so I can access it even when away from home.

Import from ISBN can take a TXT (opt. CSV) file. sort your books out into piles, give the ones with bar codes (only 978.... type) to someone with a scanner (app?) Have others keyboard the ISBN, 1 per line into notepad (simple ASCII TXT) file keep the piles in order until you verify they processed Doing batches of 10-20 makes it easier to find the 'problem' (bad number, data not found) I did 980 books in 2 weeks all by my lonesome , some so old the did not have an ISBN and had to be Googled when the 'get Metadata' failed |

As they say, where there is a will there is a way!
I owe you a ton of karma, BTW, but I'm told I have to "spread it around" first! LOL If I do add my paper books, I'll probably do the small batches at a time method. I might even set up an add'l Library and have my kiddos enter their own books. |
