[GUI Plugin] Status Manager - Count and Filter by Custom Column

[dunhill]

Status Manager is a simple yet powerful tool designed for users who maintain complex reading statuses or collections using custom columns. Instead of manually searching for each status, this plugin provides a dynamic dropdown interface to quickly count and filter your library based on any value in your chosen column.

It was born from the need to manage large libraries where a single "Reading" status isn't enough, and you have multiple categories like Begonnen, Gelesen, Gehört, or specific project tags.

Key Features
Dynamic Dropdown: Automatically scans your custom column for all unique values—no manual entry needed.

Quick Filtering: After counting, it offers to instantly filter the calibre grid to show only those books.

Fully Customizable: Works with any custom column (text, fixed strings). You can set your lookup name (e.g., #m_status) in the settings.

Accessible: Configuration is available directly from the toolbar icon's dropdown menu.

Multilingual: Supports English, Spanish, and German.

Installation & Configuration
Install the plugin via the "Load plugin from file" option.
Add the plugin to your main toolbar.
Crucial: Click the arrow next to the icon and select "Configure plugin...".
Enter the lookup name of your custom column (e.g., #m_status).

Enjoy!
