I tried this. It is very hard for me to see them. They don't play well with the average rating gradient and will require some kind of color picker because the underlying icon is user specified with who-knows-what coloring.

And if you make them separate icons people are going to expect to be able to click the icons to edit the notes/links directly as happens in the book details panel.

They are clickable in the tag browser, doing the same thing they do in book details.

After using it a while I put the count (the number) to the left of the icons. IMO it makes more sense there. It looks like this:

I dont really see the utility of this, hence I would want it off by default. When would one want to eyeball a list of categories to see which ones have notes?

When browsing a category to see if any are left out because I forgot to add them? Or to know if I had managed to add the notes I wanted to add? Or because I am curious about what the note is but don't want to open Browse Notes? With the context menu actions one can easily maintain them.


I am OK with making the default "Off" although TBH I think that discoverability make "On" a better choice.

All the above said, I am not going to push hard to get this into base calibre. If you don't want it, that's OK.
