You can use the current library path from the preferences with a simple Code:
from calibre.utils.config import prefs library_path = prefs['library_path'] Enclosed is a downloadable add-series-to-custom-column.py.zip for convenience. It assumes the custom column is "#formatted_series". |

Suggestions wanted for maanaging books that belong to multiple series
Not sure if this post is relevant for this thread or not, but I was wondering if I could pick some peoples brains on and ideas to manage a book that belongs several series.
Example: Stuart Woods - Reckless Abandon Series: Stone Barrington [10] Series: Holly Barker [4] or R.A. Salvatore -The Crystal Shard Series: Icewind Dale Trilogy [1] but also can be read as part of a much larger reading order for those wishing to read about Drizzt Series: Legends of Drizzt [4] This would especially be useful for reading books with both publication orders, chronological orders, or chosen reading orders for several series that overlap for example, The Enderverse Saga that incorporates many series. Currently I have been just entering in the secondary series into the title. Author: R.A. Salvatore Title: The Crystal Shard: Also Icewind Dale Book 1 Series: Legends of Drizzt [4] Kinda of ugly in my opinion and not good if you want to sort by the different series.

@crissman - If you're not OCD about duplicate books then maybe something like this.
Notes is a long text (like Comments) custom column cloaked by an icon in the book list. The EPUB is Here link is created via the Link tool in the long text (Comments) editor. BR |

In point of fact, it has not been a sticky for very long at all. This one was: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=118563
P.S. Thanks chaley, I guess you stickied it? Well, whoever did... perhaps the nearly-identical thread can be unstickied or merged and the OPs deduplicated? |

One issue here is that stickies seem not to be used for conversations. You can see that most of them are closed to new posts. This thread is certainly an outlier.

Depends on the thread, see here for example: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=150
Sometimes stickies are there to pin very-important-discussions where everyone can find them, which is what I believe the plugboards/templates thread is all about. |

Stickies can be open or closed. They are 2 distinct operations.
Some are closed to keep them lean (and hopefully read) for very important topics. Others, like the "Plugin ideas" are open so as to generate ideas (and inspiration to develop) |

Hi,
It appears that my plugboard settings have stopped working for my Sony PRS-T3. I created a column for my title, called "title_sony" and I've attached a screenshot of my plugboard settings. The goal is that the information in my title_sony column should be what is in my title field on the device. I'm not sure what may have changed but my settings used to work and now they don't. I'd appreciate any and all help. Thanks, Amalthia p.s. I'm on Calibre: 2.20 |

Looks like it should work? (device_db is for changing the Sony onboard db on connect, right?)
Are these books you are transferring now? |
