Ah that's awesome, thanks ObC!
Just in case someone wants to implement your chain, I suggest you edit your instructions like this:
5. Copies the date from #lastread to #readdate
s (comma separated text, like tags)...
I had created #readdate instead of #readdates and got a validation message. Also, I needed to exclude that last step "Refresh book view", which for some reason would give me an error, but now the chain works fine! For the timestamp I've added 'hh:mm', looks nice to me, thanks.
Actually I do most often open the books by double-clicking them on cover grid view, so I'll wait to see if there's some other possibility besides running the chain. (yet I can also train myself to always hit a shortcut key)
edit: this time I've added an action to View book as the first step on the chain, and removed the rating prompt. Now I think if there was an
option to assign the double-click action on library view to run this chain, I would definitely go with that.
