You can make a custom column type column built from other columns, with the template {series:'test($, test(field('series'),strcat('Series:',field('serie s'),),''),'')'} This will give you Series:series name. Then you use the custom column name instead of series in the plugin. Same for authors Probably PeterT will have a better way though Helen |

Create Shelves named by "Tags" column, but limited...
Quote:
I have been playing around with creating shelves in my Kobo Glo. The info here has been invaluable! I used the method described above for creating shelves based on "Series" but I changed it to "Tags" The result is shelves have been created based on the exact word string within the "Tags" column. My hope is that someone that understands how to structure this may suggest a way to still use the "Tags" column but limit the CSVs (within the "Tags") to a specified number. So if the "Tags" column has a string of 15 CSVs, I could specify that it only return perhaps the first three. This would serve to generalize and create fewer shelves with each would have more than a single title but yet similarly tagged gendra content compared to what I am now creating. Tag as currently used: American, American Science Fiction And Fantasy, Bodyguards, Contemporary, Epic, Ex-convicts, Fantasy, Fantasy - Contemporary, Fantasy - General, Fantasy fiction, Fiction, Fiction - Fantasy, General, National characteristics, Reading Group Guide, Spiritual warfare, Widowers Tag limited to first four: American, American Science Fiction And Fantasy, Bodyguards, Contemporary, Thanks! |

Not using tags, I'm not sure quite how they are ordered.. Alphabetically? I do have some ideas and will play with it a bit tomorrow.

Tags...
The order of tags seems to be vary depending on where you view them.
In the Calbre Library they appear alphabetically. In metadata they are often random. My current work around for tags that are excessively lengthy is to use metadata/edit metadata in bulk edit/tags/remove to delete them. I then bulk retrieve metadata/covers and hope the new tag strings are of a reasonable length. This is sort of the best way to clean up the library but it is time consuming. |

My experience in tags is that they are sorted alphabetically when accessing them but numeric values do not appear first in the GUI.
{tags:sublist(0,1,\,)} will display 69 before A but in the calibre tag list it will often not appear first. Helen |

Ever since I updated the Kobo firmware, it has been duplicating all my shelves. It is driving me nuts! I have tried resetting the Kobo, and it is still doing it. Is there a fix for this? Or ultimately, a way to turn off the shelf manager plug-in?

This has nothing to do with calibre, rather it is an ongoing issue with the Kobo servers and the sync process. As of now there is no trivial solution.

Thanks, Peter. Guess I will just ignore the shelf area until it's fixed.

Is there a way to make all images in an ebook appear larger when transferring it to Aura HD? Perhaps a plugin?
A 400 x 100 image will show just fine on a Touch or Glo but will be completely illegible on the Aura HD. I understand that one cannot create pixels out of thin air but I'd rather have an ugly legible picture that a pretty illegible one. |

Mivo: Yes, you select the device or driver that matches what you are using. Or, you can select "any device" so that it is used for any device you send books to.
