Thank you so much! It counts and updates now!

I like that plugin, but there is a question: Would it be possible to add a space between the author name and the Number? And so if there are several authors for a book, to add a comma between the authors?
Example:
John Doe(8) Martha Duh(3)
change to:
John Doe (8), Martha Duh (3)
That would be much better to read...
PS: I refer to the custom column.
And if i could change the colors of the author name and/or the number, that would be a cherry on top!

DaltonST hasn't logged onto MR since July 2023.

I suggest you change the PI source for yourself.

For the space between name and count see line 242 of main.py.

For colours - I have no idea.

@BetterRed:
Got it! Thanks a lot. Now Names have spaces before the number and when more than one Author is present, a comma is added.
I packed the plugin, bumped the version to 1.2.6 and give it back to the community!

Cool, I did something like that for Job Spy in order to remove an annoying message on every calibre startup "Search bar items increased..." Might post in its thread this version if anyone wants... (but sometimes it seems I'm the only user that has the search bar dropdown items increase enabled, so..)

I use the other ABC plugin.
