By deleting, you mean you blanked them out. Your were supposed to blank them out! Why in the world would you think that all Calibre users have the identical custom columns and want to use MFI in the identical way?

Those sample values were just to show you examples.

Did you even read the ToolTips? Did you read the OP?

No, I do not assume that people do not read ToolTips or the OP. If they do not, that is their personal problem.

Who says you have to create Custom Columns? Who told you that? Where did you read that? Why do you say that?

The ToolTips and the OP text plus the OP images are the 'user guide'.

There will never, ever be a step-by-step guide. I don't need it, and have zero interest in writing one. Feel free to write one yourself.

I built MFI for three (3) people: me; myself; and I. Those people like MFI just the way it is. If I enhance it, it is because it pleases me to do so.

I just uploaded MFI for others to use it for free if they so wish. If they find it too difficult to use, then I urge them to quickly uninstall it.
Dude, what the hell just raped your ego? You make a custom plugin and decide to share it and other people seem to enjoy, but the first time someone comes back with feedback, you got so defensive all of a sudden. So it's our fault we couldn't make it work when you just made 2 image dumps with very little context on how to get started operating it and nowhere in your post said the "example" junk in the beginning was supposed to be blanked out to make it work right. That isn't a guide at all and more like something to be reminded of when using it properly.

You know why a lot of open source projects fail? It's because the main developer never develops their project to be used by anyone and shrugs off other people. It could be a better plugin that you would love using more often, make the presence of Calibre more well known among people outside the tech and book communities, and even make some money through donations or get recognition by other parties.
