I've been trying to get the Read stuff to work, and I can't seem to get it to display.

If you take a look at the four attached screenshots, one of them shows my settings so you can see if I have put the column names in correctly. Two of them show the book details page. One is the top of the page showing that the read checkbox isn't checked, and the other is showing the bottom of the page showing the readrecently value is checked. The last is the screenshot from calibre with the column definition.

A couple of things:

1) Am I using this function correctly? I've been assuming the the checkbox is a two way field. It sets the value if you change it and it shows the current value. Is this correct?

2) Rather then forcing the user to type in the field name, wouldn't it make more sense to allow them to choose from the existing names. This might also make sense for the custom grouping columns.

3) I think "Read" might be a better label then "Marked Read". None of the other labels have verbs associated with them. It just seems out of place to me.

As always, thanks for the help.
