Prior to the advent of the calibre:// protocol I had no real need for visibility of the 'id' field.
Now I have a
#book_row/Book # virtual column (template {id}) in all my libraries. To prevent me F2-ing into the template editor I flip the 'editable' BOOL in the database column definitions….
perhaps virtual columns could have a checkbox for flipping the editable bit, viz:
I'll let @chaley speak to the formats column. I will note that a record of what formats 'should' exist for each book is kept in the library database 'data' table Ψ³ IIRC this is the source of the approximate_formats() template function.
