catalog

alansplace · 02-02-2011, 08:33 PM

in win 7 i generated a catalog in mobi format with ver 0.7.43. it says that my custom column will be read and that a checkmark will show for a match. the default match is a + sign. since there were no check marks on appropriate books i regenerated the catalog after changing the + to Yes. still there were no check marks in the completed catalog.

the custom column is a yes/no one.

anyone have any idea what might be wrong or what i'm doing wrong?

Did you disconnect from your device, the reconnect? Calibre does not seem to update "on device" except when "Deleting from device"

Thanks, I have now exceeded my knowledge of the inner workings of Catalog

GRiker will probably have to answer this one

When creating my catalog, from the Read Book Field I select my custom column "read" from the drop down box and then type True in the field next to it.

OK
Experiment done.
My Read column has the Same name: True/False type
When Generating the catalog, you fill out the page shown

There is a small Plus mark by the Title or Author (depends on what section) when 'Read'
