An idea for a utility would be to include individual library information instead of just custom columns for every library.
I imagine being able to select a library and get the columns, book count, and maybe the earliest or latest timestamp. The databases have the ability to show a lot of information, and it would be great to be able to access it through the utility.
I use the custom column list to standardize all my libraries, but it would be nice if I could select a library and have a list of columns that are disimilar to the ones in that library listed, or choose which libraries to check instead of all of them.
As it is I have to export it to excel and highlight the desired template library and sort according to name/label to see differences. It' would be nice if the differences were the only thing to see instead of having to wade through all of them.
It could be set so that either columns that don't match or columns that aren't listed can be shown.
Just an idea.
