Ok, so I did my thinking on this, and I really only need the {#stk_series} and {series}
I won't be using the Series Universe to send to my Kindle, this is only really for use in Calibre and if I use a Catalog, so it's not necessary for a plugboard for the Series Universe
Books that are standalones - I can edit the titles. It's not like I am batch sending a ton of books that I haven't already set the titles nicely for my Kindle.
The biggest thing I am thinking is the general padding. I don't care anymore if they line up exactly. The days of the Kindle listview are over. Every book has a thumbnail and the books are spaced so far apart and there is so much between the titles, that you really only need the leading "0"s and however the rest is, is how it is. There doesn't need to be equal padding all through the series.
So..smart padding?
If there was a way to fill a column with how I want the plugboard to be. I can do one plugboard one column for all the books, but if there was a way to tag or use a column that I could preload with number or word or phrase or tag that would indicate how I want that book to be done - instead of making the plugboard fill it out. I would rather know ahead of time what it is going to look like if there was a way to make the column tell the plugboard which way to go - then have a second column show the final results. Then if I could change the tag, the column with the resulting plugboard will change - allowing me to see the results?
Does this make sense at all?
I think what I want is a control column to dictate which plugboard is used, and a preview column to show the results.
