BetterRed, not sure why you're going passive-agressive on me. I was merely pointing out a problem (which may be specific to my use case), not criticizing anyone or anything in particular. I do think though that some of Calibres functionality is "hidden" behind layers of technical stuff, which makes it very hard for users like me to use Calibre to its full potential.
I'd love to have the time to learn Python and develop plugins, unfortunately I don't.
Also, I'm pretty sure the more (custom) fields you have in a database, the slower queries get. I know from experience that this is true for SQLite and others. Also, it stands to reason - the more data you have to process, the longer the runtime will be. But that's off-topic.
Anyway, I'll play around with Calibre a bit more, I'm still learning new stuff every day. Maybe I'll be able to code a simple plugin at some point. Thanks for the info about the "Plugin Ideas" area, didn't read any post there yet.
