drawson1 · 03-23-2021, 10:46 PM

I'm trying to generate an epub catalog from the command-line. I have a custom boolean field "Read"; if it's set to True, I'd like to mark the book. When I do this from the GUI, it works fine; the combo box in the GUI shows the available values as "True", "False", and "Undefined".

On the command line, there are two problems:

--prefix-rules="('Read books','Read',True,'+')" fails with an error:
Code:
```
incorrect number of args for --prefix-rules: 'Read books'
```
How do I specify a character like a checkmark as the marking character?

Thanks!

Dan
