Order of Libraries in Library Select

BetterRed · 01-13-2015, 02:37 PM

Can someone remind me of where the setting to control the order of the list of libraries one gets when the library icon is clicked - I seem to recall it could either be in alphabetic or most often used order.

My list seems to have gone whacko, libraries I haven't looked for months are at the top of the list, and they're not in alpha order either.

It must be stored in config, if so which file is it in, if push comes to shove I'll get calibre to create a new one.

It's a Tweak

Got it "Sort the list of libraries alphabetically" (I think I searched for 'library' and then 'order')

I changed it from 10 (default) to 1 and its still whacko. This is the vihara's install, not my install, so I don't have all my kit.

I can't find where the most used numbers are stored, I think they're whats probably screwed. If someone can tell me what file there in, I'll rename it and see what happens with a new one.

The statistics for how often libraries have been accessed are in gui.json in the config folder. You can just adjust the numbers there.

@tilia - thanks, they looked OK - the 'main' libraries, Books and Journals, had counts a lot higher than the other three.

But before changing gui.json, on a hunch I went to Tweaks and hit the Reset button for "Sort the list of libraries alphabetically" - that fixed it, now the Books and Journals are always on top.

Strange

Did you delete a popular Library just before this happened?

No, apart from changing the tweak from 10 to 1, which had no effect, I didn't do anything before I hit the Reset - which changed it back to 10 - which fixed it - go figure.

Its not my data, so I am being ultra cautious.
