I'm wondering if I'm just missing something simple (a brain, maybe?) so come for advice please... can some kind person tell me:
Is there a quick way to switch the Y/N dialog in the "Read" column for a book? The way I'm marking a book as "read" seems really clunky:
- click on the book's row, in the "read" column - the box gets selected
- click on the selected box - the dropdown opens, showing 3 options: Y/N/<none>
- click on the "Y" option - the Y and checkmark are selected
- click somewhere else, so that the box is no longer selected (otherwise a mouse scroll changes my 'Y' to whatever)
Surely there's a better way to toggle this?
Actually the "Read" setting doesn't really even need three options (Y/N/blank), just two, assuming it's meant for "has been read" - though maybe three options is appropriate if it means "to be read".
Calibre is running here (with about 2000 books) on x64 Windows 7 on a reasonably fast machine, but this GUI action is quite slow and having four clicks to make a change is painful. I added a "ToRead" column with the same three-option toggle but don't use it because it's awkward.
This is a minor gripe with a great, wonderful tool (THANK YOU KOVIND
and all other contributors) but it's driving me crazy.
