All of the time!

But in this case it is not a one-time fix, but I need a custom column with the flipped values.



Fortunately, I've eliminated all those already.

I see your point. I'd expected these substitutions to be handled by the back-end server. Not the front-end javascript.

calibre-server: Book list templates

It seems that the book list templates only support {field} substitutions, and not the full calibre templating features. For example, {authors} works, but {authors:uppercase()} is left unchanged.

Author maintenance: where is 'link' for?

When I pop up the author maintenance dialog, there are three fields: author, sort_author and link.

I think my mistake is that I considered calibre (and the content server) to operate on a library, and hence require exclusive access to that library only.

Ok, no big deal.
