EM Version 1.0.4 now can create "icon with text" "Entity Type Column" "has" "Value" rules using entities.png as the icon.
I have no conceptual problem with adding new rules, since EM is using the Preferences > Look & Feel > icon rules dialogs "behind the scenes" to do all of the work so that Calibre cannot tell the difference between an EM-created rule and a human-created rule.
However, removing existing rules is not something I am comfortable with. Not at all. So, "orphan" rules that will no longer be used because the underlying Entity was deleted from Calibre's metadata are an issue for a human to rectify manually.
Also, given the labor-intensive nature of manually creating rules for other-than-EM, I am going to have EM stash multiple back-up copies of existing rules in an export-format file. Probably in "...\calibre\plugins\em_data\".
After reflecting on the "@" symbol, Version 1.0.4 of EM will automatically convert all existing EM data from "@" to "~", and the ToolTips etc. have been changed to reflect the "~" tilde. That is because I may want to create "real" @User Categories for each EM Entity Type having existing Entities of that Type along with their Values underneath in the Tag Browser, and I don't want any ambiguity about that tentatively possible future functionality that may or may not ever exist.
