add a custom field to the basic metadata

tempest@de · 06-30-2013, 07:16 AM

Hi, sorry if my question was already in the foruns but I searched but couldn’t find it.

Is there a way to add a custom field to the basic metadata menu? (see photo)
I know that the custom metadata are aded in a new tab Custom metadata, but I would like to put #shelves in the basic menu since this for me it’s the most important of my custom metadata.
The basic metada has several fields that I don’t care about is it posible to take those out and add the ones that I want?

Thank’s in advance.

Yes and no. You can't add a single field, but if you go to Preferences - Behavior you can change Edit metadata (single) layout to All in 1 tab and see all metadata, including custom fields in one large window.

Thank you DoctorOhh, that's perfect.

And there is an additional Tweak for that

That allows you to (somewhat) control the order that they appear.

Code:

# Order of custom column(s) in edit metadata

(Actually: the tweak applies to all available views)

Cool, thank you theducks!

Now It's easier to arrange the books.
