View all highlights?

twicefivemiles · 05-29-2014, 08:30 AM

Anyone know of a way to have Marvin group my highlights together somewhere? In the Collections pane I see that it already does this for words I've looked up (Vocabulary) but nothing for highlights.

I use the highlighting feature for quotations and bits of text that I would like to refer to later. I know I can see all of my highlights in a particular book, but I frequently forget WHICH books I've highlighted in and have to open them one by one.

If this is not a current feature, I would like to humbly request it!

twicefivemiles,

Do you use calibre to manage your ebooks? There are two very useful plugins that allow calibre and Marvin to talk to each other: "iOS Reader Applications" and "Marvin XD".

You can view Marvin's database and see many details about your library. One database table is specifically for highlights and lets you view all the highlights in each book.

Until an easy method like Vocabulary is added, viewing the database can provide Highlight information.

Additional Info: The highlights can be copied to the clipboard and pasted to the app of your choice.
