So I made a custom column with "long text, like comments" and would like to see that column on the right hand side of the book details window with the comments from the edit metadata dialog. I use the narrow layout so the window is on the bottom. (Columns on the left side, comments on the right.)
If it can't be done, then I accept it, but it would make a good plugin, that's why I originally posted the question in the suggest plugin thread.
The GUI is mostly fixed (the buttons at the botom control show/noshow of sections) and no plugin can modify the GUI.
You can locate your custom column to the far right: Preferences: Behavior: (right side) Tick and or Move items up or down: Down is more right
