The problem: when you delete a column, the last modified time for the books is not updated. This means that CC doesn't see the changes, but more importantly means that the calibre backup OPF for the books is now wrong.

Good to know you're on top of it. I did my test using the new backend, so the "bug" isn't fixed yet in the new code?

Note that the backup can take a while. I think it does a book every 2 seconds.

I'll give the work around a try, should only take 6 hours to complete.

When you run out of real estate the old ... works wonders letting us know the space has run out. I wouldn't try to use multiple lines to fit things.

I think this will do nicely.

Excellent work.
I think we'll be running out of things to report or suggest soon (knock on wood).
BTW, my suggestion to be able to change background and font colors on the list view doesn't seem that important any longer.
