Yeah, I know: all the books "average rating for authors" being updated if I change the rating of one book would be the desired results (although IDK how much impactful something like that would be on the processing time  ) while for books with more than one author my idea would be to consider them all (or none, or the first listed. I know there's no perfect solution here, if not having the average against another field which can contain one value only )
Anyway, I guess there's no easy solution to my desiderata if not downloading a catalog as CSV -> creating a pivot that calculates the averages and then manually import back the data on Calibre. And then update the data from time to time to reflect changes
Thanks for your input  |
Hmmm - knowing what a spreadsheet pivot is, puts a a bit of a lie to your: "…but my technical knowledge is non-existent at best…"
FWIW - I maintain an "Authors library".
Items in my "Books library" link to it via a
calibre://show-book/ protocol url in the Link field that's in the Manage Authors tool. And items in the Authors library link to the Books library via a
calibre://search/ protocol url in the Link field.
Added: I just remembered I rate Authors rather than Books using a half-star 1-10 scale.
