Hello all.

I have created a custom column called "Books to Read" in which I created sub-categories "To Read", "Reading Now", "Done" & "Maybe". It was a way of sorting that worked fine until (I believe) Calibre went to version 2.0.

So now after changes are made, I'll go back a week or so later (or after my current book has been read), and none of my changes are there. Instead, it goes back to previous settings. I have since tried creating virtual libraries, custom tags and the Book List plug-in. After some time goes by, I find the virtual libraries gone, custom tags gone, or the book lists gone (the plug-in is still there, just no data).

This last time I deleted the custom column completely, then created some book lists using the Book List plug-in. This morning I opened Calibre and there's my old custom column...back from the dead...with all my sub-categories the way they were. All book lists are gone as well.

I can't seem to find a way for Calibre to retain my data.

Can anyone help me understand?

Sorry for the long-winded post, and thank you!
