Calibre: how to delete columns
Hi,
I created a column in my Calibre and it hasn't worked the way I wanted. So, I want to delete this column. I've searched about this issue at Google, at the Calibre's manual and so on but I haven't found how to do it. Thank you in advance. |

the chosen icon to delete something is indeed not too intuitive, think of it as recycling the bits and bytes it used to be re-used somewhere else

You recycle the column to return it to the huge set of future possibilities?

Instruction to 1960's trainee programmer - go and ask Charlie for the the bit bucket, hurry we're nearly out of semi-colons here, we only get one testing shot a day!
Bah, recycle bins, what sort of PC new age jargon is that Bit Buckets please. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 11-04-2013 at 10:30 PM. |

A couple of years back I wrote a short post about replacing icons in calibre. Kovid as created flexibility in this regard. I changed the recycle icon to the attached trashcan icon a long time back. Until this thread I had completely forgot that the icon used to be a recycling symbol. |

I had a 'saved set' of Icons from an older edition of Calibre.
Here is that 'Trash' Icon Last edited by theducks; 11-05-2013 at 08:10 PM. Reason: wrong Icon |
