Lightbulb Addition: Display the list of books

Hi.
Supplement: Display the list of books (point, check, etc.) on the completion of transfer to another format.
Convert the books over and over - 24 \ 7 Sometimes electricity is cut off, or something disrupts the program, and I can not understand when, where conversion stopped. Is it possible to make a visual indication of completion of conversion for each book on the list?
Thank you.

Not much help if the electricity fails. A log will not be written/closed properly

You can sort on the Modified (not displayed by default. Preference: Add you own columns: to enable and relocate).
That should put the most recent changes at the end of the list.

If you are converting for the first time from format A to format E
you can search (and sort to taste)
Example:
Code:
formats:EPUB and not formats:Mobi

You should backup the library before starting a lot of jobs and leaving your system unattended.

If all the conversions are to the same target format, you could remove all the target format files before starting the conversion jobs; then if something goes wrong you would be you would be in this situation

IMO this is superior to the Modified time stamp method, which I think refers to the time the book row in database was changed. This won't be the same as the modified timestamp on the output file (or the opf file). Such inconsistencies can be disconcerting when one is in a post crash recovery scenario, whereas the presence of absence of the output format is much more clear cut.

Modified timestamp is any change to the metadata, even a case change in a tag caused by some other book changing a common tag.
I do have my column formatted to show date and hour (only)

It does not help - I translate epub into epub.

In the column "date" I have only shown days. It would be helpful if I could keep track of the minutes and hours. Is that possible?

Preferences->Tweaks->Control how dates are displayed - here you pick & choose different formats for different dates
