Search series and tags
(I use FanFicFare to download fanfiction. However, this is purely a search question, so I posted it here. If it needs to go somewhere else, please let me know.)
I have some books where the series is incomplete, where the first {x} books are done (series:true and tags has "Completed") but there are one or more books where the series is incomplete (series:true and tags has "In-Progress"). In addition, I have some series that just have one book in them for now (series:true, but just one book in the series). Is there a way to find all books within a series that has at least one books in the particular series with the "In-Progress" tag, as well as find any books with a series marked but just one book in the series? ![]() |

Thanks! However, this doesn't fit the question.
At first I thought it fit the second part of the question (finding out how if a series just has one book in it). I'm not looking for the number of series in a tag-like column. I am looking for the number of books that a particular series has. What page had the count operator? Maybe it'll have more of what I am looking for. |

I think he means the count function in calibre's template language see The calibre template language — Function classification - it's a List function, i.e. it operates on lists.

@DirCat - the Manage Series list has a Book Count column, which you can sort.

After doing a little more research, I found a plugin that might help - Multi-Column Search. I'm going to play around with it for a bit and, if I can't figure it out, I'll ask in their forum. Thanks!

Now I can add the marked column to my search to find which books need to be downloaded to my tablet. In case you're interested, here's the first query: Spoiler:
And here's the second one: Spoiler:
(NOTE: The table custom_column_16 is my special table to say whether to ignore the series or not. If set to Yes (1), it means that the missing pieces aren't important (a substory or the like) and to ignore them in the first script. If set to No (0), once the conditions fail to match anymore, it will allow the second script to find them.) |
