Thanks
Kovid : First, regarding a Book Link
if (I can read
id column in
books table in
metadata database within a plug-in) then {
if (
metadata.books.id is unique && persistent) then {
if (I can use a
metadata.books.id to open a Book Details Window) then {
if (I store a
metadata.books.id in a type Integer Custom Column) then {
I more or less have what I want
}
}
}
}
Don't I :?:

Addendum re Triple Slash
The gadget I'm using to provide the URI string only puts two slashes after "file:" It's Lopesoft's Filetools which is a free Swiss Army Knife Shell Extension for Windows.
I've written to Lopesoft to ask if they could provide a triple slash option, it shouldn't be hard, they have a number of tweaks available in the Copy Internet Link dialogue.
I must have had a dose of Fat Finger Syndrome (FFS) yesterday when I edited the HTML to put in the third slash.
Request : In the Insert Link dialogue in a Long Text Column it asks for the URL, could an additional item be added to the dialogue where one can enter the Name - finding & editing something like the following in an unstructured stream of HTML is very prone to FFS like errors.
<a href="file:///e:/MediaStore/Dates/2009/10%20October/">file:///e:/MediaStore/Dates/2009/10%20October/</a>
Not forgetting of course that if one is using the All-In-One Metadata Editor layout, one can't even get at the HTML because there's no Tabs for
Normal View and
HTML Source :lol:
