Developers: Virtual Library vs Saved Search
In planning complicated searches, can I assume that a Virtual Library is a special case of a Saved Search, where the Tag Browser is also filtered?

Pretty much although with more features IMO.
I have several virtual libraries displayed as TABS when I am fixing or categorizing books. Very very useful.
Would be nice if you could have different sort options in each tab, but still great.

@speakingtohe : I believe kiwidude has integration of View Manager with VLs on his todo list.

Quick switches between "views/selections". One lives and learns.

With a bit of thinking about it I can use it. Perhaps when adding books, or exporting, or converting.

Swell. I hate Paypal, but it is time I got off my fat butt metaphorically speaking and donated to kovid again and to kiwidude.

I recently had a hard drive failure and lost a lot of custom column data. I have a tab for #quality:false and #genre:false. Small thing but makes my life easier in a small way. I also have one for my TBR list.

Well live and learn. I have never heard of Bitcoins. My first thought is EEEEKKK, however I will look into it.

I would probably just bite the bullet and do PayPal though as I have used an awful lot of kiwidudes plugins. Quality Check and find duplicates are both marvels.

Thanks for the info.
