Sorry, I can not agree with you. The principle of strictly dividing datas and temp values (primary, real; and secondary, derived and technical only values, needed only for managing DB) is not my idea, and not accidentaly is so strict, so principle. Cosmetic clearing of a principially erronously structured behavior is not a way to happiness. First, it is not nice, not exact, not real-clear solution, only forced - it is the barrier in the way of developing. Second, if to mix temp values into DB, DB will grew up with extrem speed - without real needs. As I will develop the DB shower interface, so will more and more impracticable the DB's size. By the way: THIS was the cause, why I leaved that second, hierarchical-able book-organizer, that I wrote earlier. The size of the DB was 10× more, then real data's of books. Calibre is going on this, principially erronous way, too.

I am very glad for those much abilities, what Calibre themselve plus plugins can do: converts, quick searches, hierarchical tags, saving searches, and so on, and so on.
Thank you for all of them to Calibre's and the plugins' developers.
But: the core function of a DB managing application is: to manage DB, in correct way.

If Calibre can not solve a task, to well manage and organize a DB, on 1 operating system,
why do you count to multiply this error on +2 operating systems, as benefit? I'll be try first to do my job well on 1 OS.
I beg pardon all of you: have no more time for discussion. Now I am sure more, then earlier: Calibre is going on a way, that I count as faulty. I tried to explaine all of you my opinion; do not know, how effectively did it.
Thank you all for any help, especially eschwartz.
Have a good luck!
