Thanks
Adoby I didn't know about that, just added the column and happy to report that my database approx-formats accords 100% with the actual files, but...
When I removed the Formats column (see earlier post) my scroll bar stickiness disappeared, which 'made sense' - no need to interrogate folder contents.
So I turned computer off and went to lunch happy in the knowledge that my sticky scroll button niggle had been resolved/explained away.
When I came back I reinstated the Formats column and... the scroll bar stickiness did not come back, and... wait for it... sort on Formats column (
theDucks, that's why I have it) on the whole library (20,000+ books) was almost instantaneous - it used to be a minute or two.
Maybe everything is 'cached', maybe my virus scanner is making Calbre faster, maybe I inadvertently hijacked the NSA computers. Own up Kovid, what did you do :lol:
its probably Heisenberg, or Eisenstein.
