During recent discussions with kiwidude, the idea of removing the advanced mode from the plugin has come up. The logic of the proposal is that the feature does not seem to be widely used, and it comes with huge codebase.
Removing the feature will make it easier to maintain the plugin, and as bonus, will allow the plugin to support older calibre versions as well. I am not sure I will be able to contribute code for the long term, and I don't think it is fair to burden whoever maintains the plugin with supporting a huge codebase that is seldom used.
I developed this feature for my own use, and I continue to use it. But with the benefit of the hindsight, maybe it was not the best decision to include it in the official version.
The current version which has the advanced mode is stable enough to be used by whoever wish to do so. And given the recent upgrades by calibre to Python 3 and Qt 6, it is reasonable to assume that it will work for for quite some time.
We thought that is better to ask for feedback in this thread before we move ahead with the proposal.
