I never knew that moving a book from the "currently reading" column to the "read" column would change the read count. I always assumed that I had to manually go in and add the extra read dates via edit. I guess this qualifies as one of the new changes you referred to. I tend to just forgo that column all together and just move the book from whatever original column it's in to the read column via Calibre and have the automatically uploaded read date enabled.
I can get the read count in their downloaded csv of my library, but the various dates read per book is not listed. I tend to do a lot of re-reading and it's nice to keep track of each re-read date. But there isn't a sync feature on the plugin that keeps track of each read date, just the "updated" date (which is a really nice feature).
I guess I really need to learn how to create decent custom columns, for the life of me, I cannot get the language. I know there is a way to create a column that keeps track of the changes in others, via appending, but does this work in date columns? Will the changes move to a text column or a tags column? Again, this requires more education.
Thank you so much for giving me more to think about and another way to approach this dilemma!
