Show Highlights in Library?

thousand · 04-01-2021, 06:08 PM

Hi. Is there a way to show if a book has highlights, or the highlight count, in the library view? Either a Yes/No column or an integer count of Highlights...

Thank you.

No, there isnt. Though I suppose if you ask nicely chaley might be willing to add a template function for that which you can use in a custom column.

I use this:

Code:

program: 
	if annotation_count() >#0 then 'True'
	fi

You can also do this for numbers:

Code:

program: 
annotation_count()

(rather unelegant, I'll admit)

That's interesting. How would i add a column based on "program:" code? I've seen that in the forums before, but haven't figured out how to tie that to a column. I've added simple columns like "my rating," "progress," etc. but they are just values.

Thanks for the quick assistance!

I fixed the second code for # of annotations, you don't need the full gpm statement for that.

You use it in the template field of a "column built from other columns" (they're often referred to as composite columns).

You can also use the first one as a search if you just want it for searching purposes (instead of sorting/column icon purposes):
