Hi Kovid, love Calibre. Thank you very much for all your work. I am positive this procedure is covered somewhere, but can't find it in Wiki or help etc. I am trying to copy the contents of a standard Calibre column to my custom column. You just mentioned above that it can be done via the search replace tab of the bulk edit dialog, but there I am stuck. How to refer to a fieldname? For example, I want to copy the contents of "comments" (very short string) to my custom field #length. If you could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
