Displaying Custom Columns When Device Attached?

TheArtfulDodger · 11-06-2020, 01:47 PM

Hello:

I am having a bit of a bother in that I want to add a couple of custom columns (already created) when I select "show books in main memory of the device". However, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add a column to that display.

Any help would be most appreciated.

You can't.

You can, however, use View Manager to make a custom view that shows these columns, restrict it to an ondevice:true saved search/VL, and switch to it after connecting your device.

It won't show any books that are on your device but not the Calibre library, though.

I used my own idea.
