[GUI Plugin] TBR Planner

omerfaruq · 12-29-2025, 03:08 AM

A simple to-be-read planner for Calibre.

Firstly, I created the TBR Planner for KOReader, and this is the Calibre version of it.

Restart Calibre after clicking the plugin button for the first time.

Tested on a Windows environment with Calibre version: 8.16.2 [04 Dec, 2025].

Created via vibe coding on Windsurf.

Looks cool but needs adjustments. Perhaps tell the user what type of columns should be: #tbr_status, #tbr_priority, #tbr_start, #tbr_end, #tbr_tags, #tbr_note?

Code:

calibre, version 8.16.100
ERROR: TBR Planner: Failed to create custom columns: UNIQUE constraint failed: custom_columns.label

The columns are supposed to be created automatically, but I have attached their types in case it helps.

Did you restart Calibre after the first usage of the button?

Any advantage to using this instead of reading list? The description is sort of vague.

One disadvantage that I see vs Reading List is that you need to create (IMHO) too many columns.
