As I said, the code in calibre is easy, but the decision to include it isn't mine. Kovid will need to weigh performance and long-term support issues. Also note that the temp marker plugin will need to change to tell calibre's GUI when it adds or removes marks. As it is today, nothing in the GUI display when a mark is changed until the book selection moves. To fix this, when marks are changed the plugin must tell the GUI which books are involved. |

chaley It wouldn't bother me too much if I did not see them immediately - pending updates to Temp Marker and Find Duplicates - I can do a Refresh View manually. One of the afflictions from which I don't suffer is the need for instant gratification. Maybe the symbol for Marked books could be tweakable - Kovid could have a gold star, you could have something different for each day of the week and I could have a fat red M (someone will then want symbols that vary according to what did the Marking)

gabby98 - seems a normal question to me, but then I'm probably weird.
I know that both the Temp Marker PI and Find Duplicates PI 'mark' books, but there maybe other plugins or functions that do it too.
I use the Temp Marker PI to 'mark' books that that I need to do something about - e.g check the spelling of an authors name - once I've finished doing what I am doing.
When I saw the 'gold star' in cover grid and realised what it was, I thought - I could do with something like that in the spreadsheet view.
Yesterday I finally got round to trying to do it. When I couldn't figure out how to do it, I created this thread. Then
chaley chimed in and told me that not only was I barking up the wrong tree looking for isMarked, but there is no tree up which I can bark.
The "Mark" is transient, so I must remember to search for marked=true before I close calibre - otherwise I'll forget about that book I saw with the odd author name - e.g 'Paolo Krudman' that should maybe be 'Paul Krugman'
