I also wondered about the utility of storing it, but since you entertained the possibility I set my mind on how it might be done. Its presence would indicate one had done the checks.

Sure, I know you are just trying to help. Also, thanks for the ideia.

(2) The discussion about custom columns and the fact that this is an editor plugin actually got me salivating for a manage-by-exception workflow where I could have Ace as a library-level plugin to perform batch checks against selected books or the whole library and add a pass/fail to a custom column.
In my case, I'm trying to work through the whole library of a family member who is losing her vision and relying on Assistive Technology to enjoy her books. It is quite time-consuming with lots of repetitive tasks that I'm increasingly eager to batch / automate as much as possible.
I imagine making Ace into a library-level plugin would be a daunting task though. |
Thanks for clarifying.
1) Since I only use ACE for 'fun', I never thought about a publisher working flow.
2) I love the ideia of a GUI plugin for a mass check. I'll check the possibilities, and see what I can do. I guess it wouldn't be that difficult.
