That work is going well, faster than I expected. All the fundamental work is done. Tag-based columns:
- have one of four data types (text, bool, date, number)
- can be created and populated
- can be positioned and sized
- can be hidden and re-enabled
- can be deleted
- can be directly edited, with appropriate completion
- can be edited using the metadata editor.
What I have left to do is the GUI dialog box that permits a 'normal' user to create a tag column. The tag browser work to separate tags into categories is no longer necessary, although I think I will do it anyway.
I will probably give something to Kovid this weekend. This isn't a small change, so I imagine that he will spend some time looking at and fixing what I have done.

I hope you liked my whitewash quote - after all - this is an ebook forum and a quoting a bit of a classic struck me as appropriate.

When as a child I tried to get my younger sister to do my chores, my mother would frown at me and tell me that I was whitewashing the fence. I didn't fully understand until I was around 10 and read the book.
