This is an amazing plugin and this one feature would just put it over the top
Right now I am manually adding a column to keep track of which books I have a hold so I don't have to check overdrive over and over again.
I see that in the log file you're already pulling the data on the list of holds - just knowing that a hold exists is good enough (the number of weeks would be gravy).

(I don't care about the date when the hold started.)
Thanks!
I am considering adding hold/checkout status as part of the ol_wait_weeks information in a future release. Perhaps something like "05H@OCLS" for a 5 week wait, already on hold, at OCLS library. I am going to give it some more thought.
I do not plan any changes to the plugin to actually put books on or off hold automatically. I don't consider that to be part of the scope of this plugin.
