But you can also use Generate Catalog (right click Convert)
The CSV/XML tab is where you select columns


Generate Catalog, respects the current view (VL or Query)
For whatever reason the Calibredb fails when I try using it because "there are too many columns" or something along those lines.

When I generate the catalog it still lists the information book by book and not just the list of items in the column and the total number of times each item is used. Basically the opposite of what it does now. Instead of a book list, I want a list of all the tags, and the number of books each tag is in.

I guess I was hoping that I could avoid going into SQlite to export the files because it is a hassle figuruing out what each column is. But it is the only way I can figure to get what I am looking for...a list of all the specific items in a column rather than a list of every book and what each one holds.

Thanks anyway.
