Is this a bug - or something new?

Rellwood · 02-16-2022, 01:42 AM

After waiting forever to update Calibre (it was the edit metadata hiding the fields that did it), I am trying to delete some columns and when I try to do it the column doesn't delete in the box, only after restarting. I wonder if this is supposed to be this way. I like seeing the column being removed and then restarting, so I know that it was chosen.

It is a change. If you look at the list, there is a status column that shows what is happening. And it can be undone until you close the preferences.

So this requires me to have the box in full mode. I really do not like this change. I don't like it at all. I need those columns to disappear when I delete them. It messes with my mind when they don't. Neurodivergency isn't fun sometimes.

Perhaps the status field can move to the first column? So the box doesn't have to be so wide?

??? You can change the order of any column in the spread sheet by dragging
or
by changing the position in "Add your own Columns)

or were you thinking about somewhere else?
Pulldown lists respond to typing the first letter (repeat if more start with letter)

Not the book list columns, the columns in the window itself.

I think he's referring to the "Add your own Columns" list

@Rellwood - FWIW : you can sort this list on status

I am not interested in doing that. The hassle and hours of work that come with responding to side effects of this sort of change request aren't worth it.

The columns are resizeable and the size is remembered. Change them as you wish so you see the status column.
