I don't know if this has been asked, but is there some way of being able to get the views from one library into another?
I have one library (main) that has all the best views, but another library I am working with has only a couple. The columns are pretty much the same, but I can't figure out how to do it without copying over one metatadata_pref.json to the other and just resetting the library from the metadata - which ends up a mess. Any suggestions? |

It sounds a reasonable feature request for the plugin. I will put it on the rainy day list to investigate. There are a few wrinkles I’m not sure how I will deal with until I try it - custom columns in a view that don’t exist in the target db, a view already existing with that same name etc. It will need at least one new dialog to pick the library. So not a five minute change… |

Is it possible to copy/paste between Customize View Manager > View Library Preferences? Though ss mentioned in #378, this may result in problems if the db isn't compatible.

Actually I presume the plugin must already handle custom columns in a view not being present - after all if users delete custom columns calibre doesnt automatically go fix up View Manager plugin views. So it might work ok as a quick stop-gap. |

View Manager v1.10.2 Released
Release Notes:
https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr...anager-v1.10.2 This is a pre-emptive strike change - an API this plugin relied upon is not going to exist shortly. Thanks to @chaley for the heads up and the fix... Last edited by kiwidude; 10-19-2022 at 04:08 PM. Reason: Further change made for Python 2.x compatibility |

ALSO - would REALLY like the ability to save an updated version of the view instead of having to rename it. I open views, fiddle with them and want to save them, but I have to rename them and end up with two views - one is outdated and the other is a different name. Too many Default, Newest Default, etc. Instead of going in and deleting them. I have to do this everywhere in Calibre so I suspect it's not something that is overlooked but rather a necessary evil. Just "save" rather than "save as" |

I have Beyond Compare and WinMerge/Compare and it was using those programs that I was thinking of for copy/pasting the information in the .json. Just lining up the two files and copying over that particular section. |

This may have been raised before.
The sort direction icons are very hard to see in dark mode, see attachment. BR |

If I use the Re-apply current view action when there's an active search, (e.g. authors:"=Tim Winton") the search is discarded. I use the Re-apply… action after moving a column, showing a column, sorting on a specific column etc.
I'm sort of surprised I only just noticed it. IMO the search should be retained… or reinstated. BR |

Inexplicably I had Switch to Virtual library checked and (No Virtual library) set. Hunky dory now I've I unchecked it.
Aah-ha now I see why. The Search and Virtual Library Options are per-library settings, my other libraries. . . where I'm more likely to use the Re-apply… action. . . have all three options unchecked. Thanks for the tip. BR |

Is there an easy way to select a view without first having to click the View Manager button on the toolbar, then selecting the view?
For example, making tabs on top like the "Show virtual libraries as tabs", which then creates tabs right below the top search bar. |
