Series Index Shows Trailing Zero in Metadata Editor, but not in List

shocampo · 09-26-2023, 09:00 PM

See the attached screenshots. In the metadata editor, the series index for "OMNI - 1979-07 - 01-10" shows as "OMNI [1.10]", but in the file list it shows as "OMNI [1.1]. Is there a way to have calibre show the trailing zero in the file list as it does in the metadata editor? Thanks!

No, there isnt, short of editing the source code or creating a template based custom column.

1.1 is a decimal number
1.10 is not a decimal number. Software versions of major.minor.patch might use such where 1.10 is later than 1.9, but with decimal numbers the 1.9 is greater than 1.1. With decimals the traiing
zero after the point are irrelevant.

As Kovid writes, you'd need a custom column for 1.1 to be less and different to 1.10

Dashs as per original would be less confusing.

The built-in series is decimal.
