Trying to find a solution to an obvious problem but maybe I'm just crazy.

After the Quality Check plugin runs the check of all books with the Check Authors with Commas metadata quality check, it returns the number of results (~6k).

How in the world do I select all of them to fix in one go? Going through 6k books that need fixed a few at a time would take days. I don't see an obvious way to select all books that have been hilighted after the plugin is done.

Am I missing something?

I think this is want you want. CTRL+A to select all.

I know how to select all of them, that's not what I'm asking.

My library has around 20k books in it, and Quality Check found around 6k books with a comma in the author. So there are 6k hilighted books just randomly spread around in the library among the 20k. I'm trying to only select all of the hilighted books so I can fix them in one go. There isn't a column for hilighted or marked that I can sort that puts them altogether.

If I select the entire library and "fix", it's going to put everything the opposite way it was.

There should be a select all marked or hilighted option. Then I could go to fix, and it would be done.

Hmmm, strange.
When I run this plugin it marks the records that need fixing and removes everything else from the display.
There should be a pushpin marker on the left for each line.
Does this not happen for you?

It does, but it still shows all books in addition to the marked. I don't see a way to hide unmarked or anything like that.

Weird because when I ran the duplicates a while back it did what you described.

Maybe my calibre is messed up?

Yeah I see the pushpins and hilighted books, but I see the entire library also. Must be a bug or something.

I remember when running the duplicates plugin a while back it did what you described, but now it's not working correctly.

Check to see if this box is ticked in settings.

That must be it. I will check it out when I get home later.

I wish there was a way to use the full calibre gui remotely, but I'm restricted to the content server site.

If you don't want to use the Highlight mode change:

right click on a book:Show Marked
I think that works

I don't mind seeing hilighted. It's actually a lot easier for me personally. I don't remember seeing that option either but I'm not home to check.

That fixed the problem. Working as it should now.

I recently switched to a docker setup and it works just as good, plus you can use it with the GUI remotely.

Thanks for all of your help.

I just noticed that Check and Repair book sizes did not trigger a date change in Last Modified.

I doubt that it ever did (other than picking up changes which were done externally from calibre). It is just calling a calibre function that updates the metadata, which sets the modified date to that of the book. It doesnt actually touch the book itself, it just refreshes the metadata about it, hence the modified date doesnt change.
