@theducks: If I'm reading
@dc696969's posts right he's not looking for the custom column he made; he's looking for the Rating column that is included as a standard column in Calibre. As far as I can tell that's not available to edit anywhere other than in library view.
@dc696969: Someone else with a better understanding of Calibre's internal structure may have a better way but I suspect the following is the best method for doing what you're looking for. Make sure both Rating and your custom column Quality are marked as visible in the library view and that they appear next to each other. In the search box enter
This should limit your view to just the books without a rating entry. You can then go through and manually copy over the data from Quality to Rating. It's not fun and may take awhile depending on how many entries need to copied but it's the only surefire method that I know of.
You will not be able to change the name of the Rating column. None of the standard columns included with Calibre can be changed like that.
Hope that helped.
Edited to add: Not sure why I didn't find it before but Rating does appear on the Edit Metadata screen. If you have
Preferences=>Behavior=>Edit Metadata single layout set to All In One Tab you can then individually manually copy over the data from your Quality column to Rating. Again, still no way that I can see to do it in bulk.
