Remote display of Virtual Libraries on Connect
Good day.
At the moment when I connect to Calibre Server I am shown a long list of items in the library. Is there a way for a display of buttons linked to virtual libraries to be shown instead?

Thanks,

Thanks.
I'm aware of this.
I was hoping for a default screen showing a list of virtual libraries.

How many VL do you have?? The choose VL page shows all 6 of mine with room for ~3 more

Do you really need that many?
A VL can be used to reduce the allowed set of books to a point where the tag browser can be used (simple search, rather than a complex and/or search)

eg: child_safe (VL) , now use normal tags to find Bears and Honey

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
I have 20 Virtual Libraries ang growing. I thought it might bed easier for an unfamiliar user to see the list of libraries rather than a long list of books.
No matter. It works great!

The (content server view) Search (glass) brings up a 'Tag Browser' that offers the same items as the GUI Calibre.
To be honest (and biased), I would think having a Library opening with this would be a great option

You can bookmark the search page and open it instead of the library page if you prefer that.
