Chaley,
Your ln, fn tweak is the only "tweak" I've actually heard about. Is the "tweak" option flexible enough to add new buttons the way he seems to want?
As an aside, I'm really glad that your first thread, which seemed to go downhill (partly my fault), ended up not pissing you off, but instead ended with you becoming a valuable contributor. I use your exact search option a lot (I didn't know you wrote that one.) Did you also write the regex search option? I asked if that was possible and a few releases later, it was suddenly there. Whoever wrote that one gets my thanks, too.
When I started with Calibre, I can recall how I wanted ln, fn in the database. That's how I stored my books before Calibre and I thought it should be easy to simply track the firstname and lastname in separate fields. Having worked on the code for a while, however, I now realize how naive that was. The "author" field is used throughout the code and doing what I wanted would have required a major rewrite of almost every bit of code.
