preference scope

[BetterRed]

Is there anywhere that lists which preferences are global and which are library specific

Be nice if there was a 'glyph' that differentiated the two scopes alongside the preference labels

Something in the tooltip might be easier - eg [global] blah blah or [library] dot dot dot.

IMO the tool tips in Calibre set a benchmark that I wish other software developers would follow

No document list that I know of, but here is the definitive list of library-specific preferences from the code.

        defs['gui_restriction'] = defs['cs_restriction'] = ''
        defs['categories_using_hierarchy'] = []
        defs['column_color_rules'] = []
        defs['column_icon_rules'] = []
        defs['grouped_search_make_user_categories'] = []
        defs['similar_authors_search_key'] = 'authors'
        defs['similar_authors_match_kind'] = 'match_any'
        defs['similar_publisher_search_key'] = 'publisher'
        defs['similar_publisher_match_kind'] = 'match_any'
        defs['similar_tags_search_key'] = 'tags'
        defs['similar_tags_match_kind'] = 'match_all'
        defs['similar_series_search_key'] = 'series'
        defs['similar_series_match_kind'] = 'match_any'
        defs['book_display_fields'] = [
        ('title', False), ('authors', True), ('formats', True),
        ('series', True), ('identifiers', True), ('tags', True),
        ('path', True), ('publisher', False), ('rating', False),
        ('author_sort', False), ('sort', False), ('timestamp', False),
        ('uuid', False), ('comments', True), ('id', False), ('pubdate', False),
        ('last_modified', False), ('size', False), ('languages', False),
        ]
        defs['virtual_libraries'] = {}
        defs['virtual_lib_on_startup'] = defs['cs_virtual_lib_on_startup'] = ''
        defs['virt_libs_hidden'] = defs['virt_libs_order'] = ()
        defs['update_all_last_mod_dates_on_start'] = False
        defs['bools_are_tristate'] = \
                tweaks.get('bool_custom_columns_are_tristate', 'yes') == 'yes'
        if self.prefs.get('bools_are_tristate') is None:
            ...

        # Migrate saved search and user categories to db preference scheme
        migrate_preference('user_categories', {})
        migrate_preference('saved_searches', {})

        # migrate grouped_search_terms
        if self.prefs.get('grouped_search_terms', None) is None:
            ...

        # migrate the gui_restriction preference to a virtual library
        gr_pref = self.prefs.get('gui_restriction', None)
        if gr_pref:
            ...

        # migrate the cs_restriction preference to a virtual library
        gr_pref = self.prefs.get('cs_restriction', None)
        if gr_pref:
            ...

Thanks mate - I (wishful) thought there were more with library scope
