[GUI Plugin] View Manager

This plugin allows you to easily switch between different views of your library. A view can consist of a combination of columns to be displayed in a certain order, with optional additions of a specified sort order, search restriction and/or saved search to be applied when the view is selected.

Example usages:
  • When performing certain tasks like editing metadata you want different columns visible.
  • You have multiple book types in your library, for which you want to display different columns for when you filter by that book type.
  • You want an easy way to quickly re-apply a default multi-column sort order.
  • You want to display/sort/filter your books differently while your device is connected (such as excluding books that are wishlist items and sorting those on the device at the top).

Main features
  • Create new Views and save your columns shown, column widths and column sorts on demand for the current view
  • Create as many different views as you wish
  • Views are library specific (redefine your views within each as you may have different columns)
  • Define which of your columns are visible and the display order for each view
  • Optional sort order(s) to be applied (right-click to choose ascending/descending)
  • Optional Virtual library to be applied
  • Optional search restriction to be applied
  • Optional saved search to be applied
  • Optional keyboard shortcuts for quick access
  • Option to automatically apply either last selected view or a specifically named view at startup/when switching libraries

Special Notes:
  • Help Documentation
  • Change History
  • Requires Calibre 2.85.1 or later.
  • If you enable the "automatically apply last view" functionality and then this will override over any values you have specified in tweaks for startup columns or restrictions.

Paypal Donations:
  • If you find this or any of my other plugins useful please feel free to show your appreciation. I have spent many hundreds of unpaid hours in their development and support so any encouragement for me to continue is appreciated!
