A question for Mr. Goyal, or creator's of the plug-ins:
Calibre works great as is. So I don't want to see it messed up with something that might not work or not be feasible for its design. And I don't want to bug people asking for a feature that would cause problems or be too difficult to bother with.
I've often wished for a way to describe the author and/or their sometimes many pseudonym's and a small image.
Could a pop-up page similar to the edit page be created and linked back to the Author column name. Creating only a single pop-up page that can be 'clicked-on' and viewed.
Max Brand is one of my problem edits. I think I counted once that he used around 20 pseudonym's.
Currently I try to use the author's real name & then add the pseudonym used. This then looks like there were 2 author's. (At one time I was adding every name used in the author column but that was so messy-looking as though it were 20 story writers for every book by that author.)
I currently use the first book comment as book description, add a seperator line and a brief author bio description. Then have to remember to change the bio around to the first book as needed.
If the books author uses multiple names could they all be linked to a single pop-up author name/pseudonym sheet, with a (image, birth/death, bio description), would this even be fesible?
Maybe the card might look like:
Small Image top left
Birth / Date to the Right of the image
Below that the Bio
If this is dumb, I'll shut up.
