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.  |
I have a similar set up to OBC, including the "prompt to rate," but I finally got annoyed with having to select a rating. Instead, I built a single hidden Action Chain called Read/Rate that includes all the steps except the star rating, then created five different Action Chains that A) call that first chain, then B) change the rating to the specified star rating. These all go in a sub menu in Action Chains (called, uncreatively, Read/Rate), so I can rate a book 1-5 stars with a single mouse click.
