@Tanjamuse - The screen shot I posted is from my Media Library, I keep audio, video, image albums etc in that library so its a bit weird.

The image shows four custom columns, 'F'=#findposter, MyNotes=#mynotes, L=#linktoexists and 'M'=#missing.

The only column that contains any useful readable data is MyNotes, but I can't display it's value in the book list because it's a long text column (like Comments) - the other three are 'notional' integers in that the icon displayed is based on the existence or not of files in the book folder and the contents of My Notes - not on the value of the column itself.

The sad face icon for #missing (M) is displayed if there are no 'format files' for the book

The chain icon for #linkto (L) is displayed if the My Notes column contains the string " is here → ".

The coloured ball icons for #followup (F) are based on the existence of a cover.jpg, and the existence of strings like ' hand made poster' and ' frame capture' in My Notes.

The page icon is only displayed if My Notes is not empty. My Notes a long text column (like Comments) which can be edited from the book list but not displayed in any meaningful way. The page icon signals that I have written some Notes - which may only be administrative notes to control the display of #linkto and #followup icons.

Added - chaley has it exactly right, three of the columns are integers as he suggests. It's not hard to guess where I got the idea. And my thanks to chaley for that link to the icon site.
