Thanks for sharing your solution.

Hi BR!

Thank you for your reply and your kind words—and you’re welcome!

I put a note-like icon on such columns if they are not empty.

I hadn’t seriously considered using a custom comment column because of the screen space issues—I know I could stick the column off to the right, but then I wouldn’t easily see the comment. So my “solution” (maybe “work-around” is a better description), is to put any comments in red (from the book details panel) on the clipboard before I download additional metadata so I can reload the comments (they’re in red so I’ll notice them). I’ve always downloaded metadata one book at a time—if I ever figure out how to pull metadata on more than one book at a time, this work-around won’t really work anymore.

However you now have me curious. What’s a “note-like icon” and how do you use it?

Thanks,
