Probably because it is a text column and not an integer column. Go to Preferences / Add your own columns, click on the column, and click the Blue "i". The column type should be "integers".

Thanks! You were right. I had to make a new column to change it to integers but it works now.

What type of column is #prio ? It probably needs to be a numeric type of some sort for the test to work.

Okay so how do I add more books to my Virtual Libraries once I've created them?
This is my first time creating a virtual library I'm using Calibre 1.0. I tag the books I want in that LV as Ch#1 / Ch#2 now I want to add more books from the main library, so I tagged the other stories I want in that Virtual Library with the new tag. but they don't show up in the VL when I click back over to the new Virtual Library tab from the main library, after editing the tags. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Check the VL to see what it is based on, and verify that the tags or whatever you use makes the books match that search. It is possible that the VL use more than one tag or combine more than one criteria.

Not sure what it was but I erased the old VL and started a new it's working fine now, it even adds the stories to that VL automatically when I DL them.

BetterRed and chaley you gave me some good ideas that I am trying out.

DoctorOhh, you seem to help me in all my threads and your explanation made it more clear to me what the differences between libraries and searches are. thank you for all your help, not just on this topic.

Thank you everyone.

Happy Holidays everyone!

I've been trying to figure this out for a while and am stumped.
I made a custom yes/no column and was wondering how to make a virtual library for just the "no's". Is it even possible?

davidfor · 12-21-2013, 04:23 AM

The value to test for is "no". The search should look like:

Code:

#read:no
