Hello folks,

I have been on a scanning spree recently and using Calibre to store those books. I felt need of following features and searching around Calibre options didn't get me anywhere. Hence the question goes to the author and the experts.

1. Is there any possibility of customizing columns in the library view.
1a. There is already a rating column where the data is extracted from metadata but what if I would like to have a separate column for my OWN ratings?
1b. Is there any possibility of adding My Comments column where I can add my comments?
1c. I would like to have ISBN column and that ISBN number can be selected and copyable.

2. What is the possibility of having a detailed search module. Since a lot of book data is available in metadata, I should be able to search by ISBN number but that doesn't seem to be the case at the moment.

3. Is there any possibility that I could get a statistics on tag usage, so that I could keep tag numbers to least possible relevant tags, rather than overloading them.

Thanks for help.
