[GUI Plugin] View Manager - Page 20

I assumed you did, I meant any other users.

It looks like those buttons are not all the same. In fact, they have significantly different implementations. So if it does happen, it wouldn't necessarily be for all of the Layout buttons.

I'm not sure if this possible, but could there be a keyboard shortcut to bring up the VM switch-menu rather than 4-5 separate shortcuts to switch between 4-5 individual views? Thank you!

I can't say it's impossible, but I don't know how to do it. I haven't found any examples in Calibre of a keyboard shortcut opening a menu directly.

I was thinking that might be a problem. What about using something like the "next/last virtual library," except for views? (Assuming it's not too difficult to program.)

Thank you.

Here's a test version with a 'Next View' feature.

I tested it (swapped out the Ctrl+Right shortcut, since all of my views are attached to VLs anyways). It worked well. Thank you!

Is there any way to save specific column widths that I missed? When switching to a view that has a "rating" column, books that have 5 stars do this:

'Save View Columns' saves both order and widths.

(I have occasionally seen issues with the 'On Device' column size not being used, but I've never been able to figure out why.)

ownedbycats · 06-15-2020, 11:20 PM

That worked! I usually rearrange the columns via the preferences menu.

Rellwood · 06-30-2020, 01:42 PM

Is there a way of saving views to import into other libraries?

I want to copy over the views from my Main library into another one that wasn't created from it. I don't mind getting into the guts of database file or the .jsons to do it.
