I am using Calibre to manage quite a lot of books and documents. In order to better classify those, I have created a few more columns.

I like to visualize where the books stand so I created a column named “étagère” ( French for book shelf) that contain information such as FrmPF, FrmLR, PPdoc, whatever.

I have also a column named “Lu” (French for read) that contains either Yes, No or is empty. This is a very nice way of isolating the “new” document introduced in the library as they have nothing in “Lu”. The date is not a good indicator when coming from another library,

I have created several virtual library named {#étagère}-{#Lu}. So far, so good. BTW, I want to express my thanks to those who develop such a fantastic set of tools. Open source is the way to the most successful software like open hardware (remember Philips K7, that little crap hardware, that took over much better, but closed, patented, audio devices)… Anyway, I need to stay on track, I mean THANKS.

Now I like to create every so often a catalogue of each and every virtual library. The tool exists but the title seems to be a fixed character set. I did try to use something like “Mes livres de {#étagère}-{#Lu}” and the result is a catalogue textually named “Mes livres de {#étagère}-{#Lu}” instead of “Mes livres de PPdoc-Y”… If I try to create several catalogs of several virtual libraries I end up with one catalog containing the last processed virtual library (expected when the title remains the same).

I guess this is possible. I have some very basic (and recent) knowledge of Python… I must be honest, I could not even locate where the name of the library catalog is generated…

So is that behaviour expected? If yes, could I ask for that feature? Could I have a pointer in the sources to the catalog title? (I have no idea on the difficulties I am facing here but MAYBE it COULD be in my reach… I am more like a retired hardware engineer)

Thanks in advance for any answer.
