That is the current work-around |
No,
Dopedangel has read what I meant - one category per book.
So his idea is useful - I'd probably have one book for each top level node, rather than one for the whole enchilada. but that would <20 dummy books, whereas I was thinking of hundreds
In my defence the idea of dummy books and cloaking them only came to me as I was typing the question.

Yes that would be my preference - my photo manager, IMatch, ships with predefined CV's from IPTC (I think), and it provides the ability to import others.
Hands up all those who would like a Hide Books feature - no Shades of Grey, straight up yes/no
I wonder if one can assign values to a genre column in a book via the command line ?
Thanks guys
ps:
chaley - ability to assign a book to multiple categories is needed, hence I will start with my top level node variant of Dopedangels idea - any thoughts on the hiding of books or the updating genre columns via CLI Calibre.
And a hierarchical feature is also a requirement - here's a
Controlled Vocab for Education Resources you need to drill into it to get the sense of a hierarchy.
