Problem with Topics Displayed in the Tag Browser of Various Libraries

Lady Fitzgerald · 02-11-2011, 08:26 AM

One of the main reasons I have separate libriaries is the columns I use in each library is different from the others. In my main book library, I'm using Title, Author, Series, Sub-Series (custom), Unread (custom), On JBL (custom), Formats (custom) and Date. I only have Authors, Series, Formats, On JBL, Sub-Series, and Unread displayed in the Tag Browser.

In my comics library, I'm using Title, a custom Series column, Sub-Series (custom), Unread (custom) and Date. The Series column I'm using in the comics library is a custom one named Series (I had to put a space in front of it to get calibre to allow me to use that name) that doesn't show a series number (that shows up in the title and it is far easier to mass populate the Series column if I don't have to fool around with a series number). However, even though I'm not using those columns, the Tag Browser still shows Author and the default Series column. If I try to undisplay (is that a word?) them in the comics library Tag Browser, then they will be undisplayed in the main book library Tag Browser. It's annoying having to have the Author column displayed in comics library when I'm not using it. However, it is downright confusing to have two Series columns displayed.

Is there any way to keep Author and the default Series from not displaying in the comics library's Tag Browser without undisplaying them in the main book library? Or do I need to write an enhancement request?

There's no way.

Would it be practical to program this ability into calibre?

It's certainly possible, feel free to open a ticket. I can't promise it will actually get done though

Fair 'nuf. Thanks! Ticket #8925 has been created.

The last time I checked the ticket, Charles had submitted code and Kovid said it would be in the next version (0.7.46). Since that one had so many complaints, I waited for 0.7.47. I'm happy to report that the inhancement works great. Thanks, gentlemen, for making an old lady a happy camper. The check is in the mail (no, really, it is).
