how to display book's id in Calibre GUI?

jokermania · 12-22-2011, 02:50 AM

Hi,
I need to display book's id as additional column.
The id I need is the one incrementally created by calibre as in catalog command XML output:

<calibredb>
<record>
<id>9</id>
...

I already used custom columns before to get additional data but I'm not able to find how to create one to display ids.

Any hint?

Create a composite custom column (type "column built from other columns"), and set the template to {id}.
