create virtual library based on custom metadata

maxwelledison · 03-12-2014, 12:54 PM

Hi All,

I have a custom column called Read with yes/no value. How do I create a virtual library using Read=yes as the criteria for the library? I've tried Read:"yes" etc but doesn't find anything.

Max..

You forgot the # (hashmark)
EDIT: All custom column #names are also lower case
ALL custom column references start with a #

Hover the mouse over the column title for the exact name

Thanks, sort of found that out a couple minutes ago, while I was reading others recipes for searches, etc. Tried it out and yes, I now have my Virtual Library of read books. An no, I didn't know about the mouse hover thing over the column name. Calibre continues to amaze me with it's versatility.

Thanks,
Max...
