author_sort_copy_method per library?

silentguy · 02-29-2012, 02:03 PM

Hi!
how hard would it be to get a way to set the author_sort_copy_method per library instead of calibre wide? Most of my libraries contain proper books, which i prefer the default of 'comma', but I have one library containing fanfiction, which means most of the authornames are just nicks, which get sorted pretty weirdly and should best be left as is.
Seeing how plugboards seem to be per library i would expect other settings could be per library as well?

It would be a fair amount of work to change the copy method to per-library. Tweaks are per-configuration. Moving it to per-library would require removing it from tweaks, creating some sort of GUI to set it, then migrating the existing value to the new per-library setting.

This is more work than I am interested in doing.
