Custom column disappears each time you open Caliber

donpopo · 10-04-2018, 11:47 AM

Hello forum,
I have a small problem with my custom column that I created. At each caliber opening, it disappears from view.
It still exists in the Preferences, but it is not checked anymore.
Did I do a bad maneuver? I already have other columns created that remain clearly visible.
Thank you in advance,
donpopo

it would help if you tolds us some more about this colunm. What type of column is it? what name does it have?

donpopo · 10-04-2018, 12:32 PM

Nom recherché: Myshelves
column title: Kobo collection
Type Column: column built from other columns

I tried in many ways. Nothing stays. I wish a column which takes again the kinds of the books but with 'Name searched' myshelvers.
This puts me the books directly in the good collection of Kobo.
It works fine, except that this column disappears.

That can control the view (Hide/Show)
At any time, you should be able to Right-click on any column header and select Show (previously hidden columns)

If installed, the View Manager plugin will control which columns are displayed, their right-to-left display sequence, and the sorting order (columns and direction).

Thank you for your answers. I understood the mistake. In fact, I have several collections. I thought the view manager was acting on all libraries the same way. I updated view manager for each collection and it works perfectly.
