Woohoo - this is awesome! I now use a color-coded column to denote books that are on the hold list versus everything else that's queued up for holds.

This is not a question about the plugin itself - but do you have any advice for me if I wanted to create a quick way to see how many holds I have at each library (This way I can optimize my holds across libraries within Calibre rather than go back and forth with the Overdrive sites).

My quick idea is that I want to create a separate custom column and do a regular expression on the waiting time column to extract the library that has a hold on a book, and then use the free categories tab on the left to count up how many holds I have in each library. I haven't done this before so not sure if this is the best idea...

The duration of wait time in the ol_wait_weeks custom column will be suffixed by "H" if it is detected that the book is already on hold at the specified library. For example, "05H@OCLS" indicates that the book is on hold at OCLS with a five week wait time. Hold status is only available for OverDrive, cloudLibrary, and Open Library.
