Hi everyone,

I have just been messing around setting up the Percent Read Column etc. I think I've got my head around it now.

I'm now trying to create a "Finished" column

({:'cmp(field('#percentread'),100,'','Finished','F inished')'})

and that seems to be working too but what I would really like to do is to flag books as "finished" in Calibre and have that metadata written back to the books on my Kobo Clara.

I now have a "Finished" section in collections and if I flag a book in Calibre under Custom Metadata as "percent read" = 100, it appears in the Finished section. However, the book itself still shows as "Unread".

After corrupting the Kobo database more than once, it would be great to be able to flag all of my previously read books en masse when I have to rebuild it.

What am I missing?
