Emblem in Cover Grid not updating instantly like it used to

Hi,

I've been using successfully, for a long time now, a rule that sets an emblem in Cover Grid, as following:

"If the #lastopened column is set (single condition), add emblem X"

Issue is that, since Calibre 6, IIRC, the emblem will not display instantly after viewing any book (of any filetype).

The custom column #lastopened is updating instantly as it used to. I have it displayed on the details sidebar, so I can see it's working as usual.

Today I tried switching from this PI to use the Job Spy PI similar functionality, that updates the custom column, but the emblem still won't show up after opening/viewing the books, unless I restart Calibre.

(BTW, I'm not sure whether a PI is really necessary to get the #lastopened custom column updated.)

Anyway, problem is just that the emblem won't show up instantly as it used to. Thoughts?

I should clarify that I have many titles that were added to the Library, however haven't been viewed, hence I find that emblem kind of useful.


Update: today I tested again JS Plugin "Activate Last-viewed" option, and to my pleasant surprise, I had the emblem update instantly, after viewing any title even with external viewers.
(JS version 1.0.196)
