I have that and use it, thank you for that btw :-)
I think I might have been asking for the ability to select specific columns from that list, and copy just the column names with the formatting needed to the clipboard so that the file would look like this:
'{#custom_column_1}',{#custom_column_2},'{#custom_ column_3}'
or just the {#column_1},{#column_2},{#column_3}
Making it easier to create various composite columns without having to go through the whole list of columns and copy/pasting them in a desired order.
I can picture it in my head what I would think it could look like,
a drop down list of the current columns with check boxes to indicate that the column is desired for the list, and then the ability to move the column name up or down the list. Like creating the csv catalog allows you to move the columns up or down and allows you to only check off the columns you want.
However, once the list has been populated then it gets copied to the clipboard in a way that allows users to just copy and paste it to where ever they need it.
Composite columns, search and replace, plug-boards, tweaks.
An additional and even better feature would be to preset prefixes and various html tags to include.
It's way too much work for one plugin to handle, but I have a lot of copy/search/replace saves that look like the following:
<b>Date Read: </b>{#dateread}<br><br>
and a few that are as long as:
<b>Original File Name: </b>{#original_file_name}<br><br>
<b>Details: </b>{#details}<br><br>
<b>Booksource: </b>{#booksource}<br><br><b>All Sources: </b>{#all_the_book_sources}<br><br>
<br>
<b>Date Added: </b>{#dateadded}<br><br>
<b>Book Style: </b>{#book_style}<br><br><b>GR Average Rating: </b>{#gr1}<br><br>
<b>Pages: </b>{#pages}<br><br>
<b>Word: </b>{#word}<br><br><b>Tags: </b>{tags}<br><br>
These are appended to my comments so I can have a better book jacket or so I can make a better catalog.
Probably a lot of work but it was kind of a "wish"
