Preventing Tag Nav Auto-Collapse Past 100 Tags

Larsterno · 10-17-2023, 12:14 PM

Hi,

By default Calibre's tag display shows every tag in alphabetical order, up until a limit of 100 unique tags, beyond which it collapses them into letter groupings, which must be clicked on and expanded to see/use (in my case A-B, C-F, H, J-R, S-W, Y). I've had a search and I can't seem to see any way to prevent this behaviour, so I'm wondering if I can do it myself? I'm reasonably proficient in Python, JS and CSS, and I'm guessing one of those is responsible for that behaviour?

So two questions:
1. Has someone already done this?
2. (If no) Could anyone point me in the right direction of where to amend this, either by modifying source code directly or writing a plugin? (I assume there are docs for writing a plugin, so perhaps it's more about which area governs this?)

Thanks!

I discovered this about 2 mins after I posted, but it wasn't approved for me to edit the thread.

Amazing, exactly what I was after. Great job with it!
