I was more replying to the earlier comments about the function in the plugin. But, if my memory is right, it would explain why this doesn't exist. It seems to be an obvious function to want. I have wanted it, but, most times it would be handy for me are when trying to work out why the book on the device isn't matched to library. And it wouldn't actually work for that.

I plan to have a look when I have time. Or am desperately trying not to do some "real" work.

My typical usage is to find books that are 'finished' and mark them the same in the Library (I don't want to log progress, last read, nor to overwrite a previous Finished date, which is why I don't use the PI)
As @DNSB said, the status check does have checks on finished books. But, that works on the percent read, not a status elsewhere. If I reopen a book, I decide whether to set the percent read below 100 to so that the new status gets picked up on the next connection. If it is a reread, then I will. If it just to look for something, I don't.

I have thought about adding other ways to record the finished books because some people do just want a yes/no or a tag somewhere. But, it gets complicated with the combinations of columns and tags ("Read" or "Finished"? Hard-coded or a configuration dialog (which can be the hardest part of it)). If someone comes up with a good alternative, I will look at it.
