Column that allows only checkmarks?
Hi!
I am wanting to add a column that has boxes for check marks only. Or, if boxes are not allowed, then cells that would just allow me to click in it and a check mark would appear. I went to PREFERENCES>ADD YOUR OWN COLUMNS and tried everything I could think of...but nothing worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Synful |

The closest that exists is the yes/no column.

The checkmark system currently is not that intuitive you have to click beside it then choose the the status you want. But as this column has three status I don't think the check mark the way the op is asking would be possible.
P.S. If you don't want to answer don't spam the thread with your sarcasm I think these days some of the moderators and helpers are being too harsh on people asking questions. Calibre is great because of its forum and the ability to discuss problem and ask questions don't ruin the experience for others. |

Actually, when you click the cell, an arrow appears, and then you have to click the arrow to chose the Y or N. I wanted something a bit quicker...go down the list and click once in each cell to populate the check mark for each read book. It's all about the quick and easy...I'm lazy like that that! lol

The implementation was changed to what it is today (again, a year ago) because of user feedback. The majority (IIRC, everybody) wanted Check/X/empty, not checked-square, empty-square, grey square. Note also that the graphics toolkit (Qt) shows all widgets (e.g., the check box) on the library view in display mode. The user must do something to make the widget changeable. Thus that first click/double click/F2/what-have-you to open the widget would still exist. After that, today, you click once anywhere on the box to open it then click on what you want (two clicks, fixed). With a tri-state check box, after you F2 etc, you would need to click it enough times to get through the three states to what you want(one to two clicks, variable). |

Is it possible to set a keyboard short cut to select a custom column for editing so maybe once I select a book I press alt+r and then y to change state of a coulmn. |
