Yes, I noticed this. That visual splitting/seam inside the cell is more pronounced in BLP because the rows tend to be taller, yet I can see those same seams on native book list if column icon rules are in place. So, I guess this is some Qt thing.

Lol, I was just showing JSWolf that leaving the column width "width they are supposed to be" doesn't work with the header longer than content. (Often case when using icons w/ no text.)

It has to work or the plugin is buggered.

Yeah, I probably misinterpreted the original issue. Hopefully fixed now in version 1.2.2.

Version 1.2.2. cannot be added to any toolbar, and it doesn't show in All Actions - fresh install of 9.8 portable.

Phew, sorry and thanks so much for the heads up. The package was missing one file.

I've reuploaded it. (it was debug.py missing)

Comfy.n · 05-06-2026, 09:01 AM

Version 1.2.3

- version bump to trigger plugin update notification - the 1.2.2 package was missing one file.

The "Restore zoom defaults" button appears to have focus, when it doesn't.

I restarted and it works now. Strange!

JSWolf · 05-10-2026, 03:31 PM

I remove Book List Plus from the main toolbar and added it to Favorites Menu. It didn't work even after a restart. What got it to work was to add it back to the main toolbar. I was able to remove it from the main toolbar and it still works in Favorites Menu.

I do think this issue needs to be looked into.

Version 2.0

- New experimental feature: can add a second line of text below each cover in Cover Grid view! Several available fields such as Pages, Size and Rating. User may also create any custom column with lookup name blp or blp_something, and use a template like the one below:

PHP Code:


			
program: def do_field(field_name, icon):

    if field(field_name) then icon & field(field_name) else '' fi

fed;

strcat(

  do_field('pages', '📈'),

  ' ',

  do_field('#ac', '🟨')

)

In the above example, #ac is Annotation Count (calibre viewer). For details on this template, see Columns Helper plugin.
