Again, hopefully there was a warning about the books that didn't go into collections - it should tell you to reconvert them, etc. I think I'll move those warnings to the top of the report  |
Actually, no. The error messages were about as clear as mud. I had to fiddle and try various things, and cross my fingers, etc. before I was able to figure it out. If you could re-write the error messages so that they were clear and specific, that would probably help people going forward. I don't really remember what the messages said, but it was something along the lines of some column not found or being empty - which was startling because the column was right there in Calibre and it was obviously not empty!

Sounds like you need a new custom column that uses a template that checks if the '+' is set, and if it is puts Already Read, and if not puts the value of the Collection field (or just adds Already Read to the collection, or creates it as collection-Already Read).

WAY too complicated for me... That template stuff sounds interesting, but I simply can't seem to wrap my brain around it. I understand what you're saying, and it does sound like exactly what I was looking for, but putting it into effect is a whole 'nother story!
Oh, another thing I've noticed happening a couple times is that when I add some new books, or make changes, I have to close & restart Calibre before the plugin will 'see' the new items or changes. For example, I had 3 books in one of my collections, and I just added a new book to go in that collection. When I did the Collection preview, it said only 3 books for that collection, when there should be 4. I restarted Calibre and re-ran the preview (no changes) and now it's picking up all 4. I don't know if that's me, Calibre, or the plugin.
