Thanks.

That fixed it.

Small bug: Records display is sorted weirdly if I sort by progress. 1%, 12%, 5%.

Small suggestion: The option to display the book ID in a column. This could help differentiate between editions.

Not weirdly if you work with software (and you have had to explain to a customer that 12 is smaller than 5 if it's sorted as alphanumeric and not numeric

). Sorry, professional perk

Exactly. This a text field (because of the %). A solution would be to remove the '%', something that I don't think would be worthy. I'll check if there is another way.

If a book is listed more than once in the 'Shelf view', then they MUST have different IDs. Now, if you want to check the differences, you could just mark the books, and compare the full entries in calibre.

Version 1.2.1 - 28 Sep 2023

- Fix for reading progress sorting
- All years view: when pressing the 'Show book records' button, it will display all the records for reread books

I would possibly use this myself, though I'd need to see how it worked first.

I too would prefer this

I've just read a short story and, by the end of it I realised I had already read it (hmm.. this sounded interesting).

Then I added two records, one for the first reading at a random year as I have no idea when I'd read it first, and a second record for today's reading, only to find RG is listing this with a 1x counter.

I think it's ok, as it lists the number of reread, not number of read. If you have read it twice, you have reread it only once.

Sure, I can certainly understand that. However, since the title is now listed in item 4. Read, it would look (to me) more accurate with a 2x count!

Thank you so much for all records showing.

Long-term suggestion, if you think it's worth it: the option to update the Reading Goal genres from a template. Since I use a template to populate the #rggenres column anyways, it'd be helpful to skip a step.

Additionally, an option to update the genres on older entries without re-adding them. This may avoid the 23% issue in the future. This could be a button on the Edit window, if you want to avoid making new menu entries.

I just noticed something I hadn't seen in previous versions. As a first step before adding any title to RG, I used to run Count Pages, because RG would return a warning message if the Pages column was empty, IIRC...

Now I noticed I had a title with no page number defined...Then I closed RG edit window, ran Count Pages, and upon re-opening the Edit RG dialog, it showed the page number update!
