The Temp Marker PI would NOT include books 'marked' in this way in its Show marked books option. And the Find Duplicates PI would ONLY include books marked in this way in its Show all book duplicate exemptions option.
But this mutual exclusivity did not seem to 'work' in the Cover Grid view with respect to its Gold stars, which lead me to start the Show Marked as a Column thread. It was that thread that led to the Mark Books feature being implemented in the next release. And the 'problem' I saw with the Gold stars in the Cover Grid view are now manifested as Gold pins in the Book List View. |
I pointed this out during beta testing in
this thread. As you pointed out functionally they didn't seem to cause a problem.

Blame you because now the marks are visible in the list view? In the third paragraph you said, "How will the new feature 'interoperate' with the more widely used Find Duplicates plug-in." The feature is not new (it has been mainstreamed into calibre), being able to see the marks are new. I agree that it may be unsettling to see the persistent Find duplicate marks and perhaps that plugin should be modified to somehow hide the marks, but that is a topic for the Find duplicates thread. That is why I didn't bring it up in my post.
The point is that if you notice temp marks from this plugin, that is by design and if someone now thinks this is a possible problem when for the last two years it was not a problem ...
