I hope i can tell what i want (my english is not the best)
To repeat back what I think you said: what you want is that when the #read column is set to some value in calibre, including by a plugin, do:
  • If it is true then set #reading to 100. What happens if it is set to empty or false?
  • Set #last_read to the actual date.
I think action chains can do this. Ask for help in that plugin's thread.

So finally its funny that you dont understand me, i dont understand what you mean with "Are you intending to display something in a composite column?" What is a composite column?
I defined "composite column" in post #2: a "column built from other columns".

FWIW: I suggest you leave out the complaints when you ask for help. Many if not most of the people on this forum who provide help are "old bears" who volunteer: writing plugins, contributing documentation and code to calibre, and helping on this forum because they enjoy it. You saying that what we have done is "extremely bad" etc doesn't encourage us to spend time with you.
