Add '#read' as checkmark to Cover Grid?

[thousand]

Hi. I've created a custom Yes/No column called Read. It works great in normal library (list) view mode, but is there a way to show the checkmark next to the title in Cover Grid, or superimposed over the cover image, or anything like that?

It'd be nice to have more control over the cover grid.

Thank you!

You can find a checkmark at C:\Program Files\Calibre2\app\resources\images\ok.png (default Windows path if you're using 64-bit).

I use an advanced rule to display an icon depending on reading status:

program:

  if $#currentlyreading then 'bookmark-48.png'
  elif $#readorder then 'list.png'
  elif check_yes_no('#read', 0, 0, 1) then 'ok.png'
  elif check_yes_no('#read', 0, 1, 0) then 'list_remove.png'
  fi

How does coffee kill? If it was because the coffee wasn't supplied in time, then it was probably justified, at least for a second offence. But, I think the cat did it. Reading and drinking coffee instead of paying attention to a cat always calls for "termination". Anyone living with a cat knows their place.

And that last one must be a red herring. When has a Pomeranian only barked twice?

I completely agree. I don't read them, but occasionally I will see a title and look at the rest of the series just to see how they run with the joke.
