How about enhancing the Move option with additional functionality; ie one does not have to be viewing a specific list to initiate a Move. The user would be queried and choices presented: From list …?, To list …?.
The current configuration:
Calibre is installed on a laptop which two people are sharing.
There is one custom column defined as comma separated text.
The text for the column: Reader A next, Reader A current, Reader A finished, Reader B next, Reader B current, Reader B finished.
There are six lists set up in the Reading List plugin: Reader A next, Reader A current, Reader A finished, Reader B next, Reader B current, Reader B finished.
The current “work”flow:
When Calibre initially starts a search is used to restrict the book display so that only those books with any “next” or “current” value entered in the custom column are displayed.
From the main book display Reader A or B moves (at present it is removes from/adds to) a book of theirs from “Next” to “Current.”
From the main book display the book is opened in Calibre Viewer.
From the main book display the book is moved (at present it is removed from/added to) from “Current” to “Finished.”
The View list option within the Reading List plugin is not used.
Or does someone suggest a different “work”flow?
