Added: maybe the Link field in Authors and other category columns should become a Links field - i.e. a list of <a href="xxx://whatever">label<\a> links BR Last edited by BetterRed; 03-29-2023 at 06:50 PM. |

I would use book_attachments for alternate covers.

I believe SQLite supports blob (or none?) data but that probably isn't too practical

The actions I envisage calibre performing on the Attachments folder are….
Beyond that I don't envisage the calibre library manager doing anything with the files in the Attachments folder. ** IMO the way Remove books works needs to be reconsidered, for Windows at least. Firstly the Are you sure message is quite emphatic: Quote:
However, the Recycle Bin Restore tools cannot be used to put the book back where it came from (i.e. within an author folder in a calibre library folder). I understand why - as well as restoring the book folder the database needs to be updated accordingly. Maybe a plugin could be developed that would intercept Remove Book actions and move the book into a Remainder Bin (probably within the library folder) which was equipped with a tool to restore a book folder and its database record directly. There'd need to be something (close library plugin ?) to hard delete removed books from Remainder Bin after a user defined time period. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 03-30-2023 at 06:35 AM. |

The "links everywhere" changes are in calibre source.

It'll be interesting to see how much the linking feature gets used, I suspect the 'Attach a note' feature will get more usage. BR |

I tried the book-details.
After some trouble figuring out how to get it to accept 'My Books' for library name (underscore or %20?) I put in the hex encoded version copied from a show-book. Oddly the titlebar shows it as "My_Books" Also it's surprisingly rather barebones -- just default columns, no links. I guess this makes sense as accessing other libraries might be slow or complicated (especially for lots of composite columns like me ). Since I only use one library I would stick to show-book.

A thought: One thing that's always bothered me is that I prefer to have clicking names search for the item in the Calibre library. However, author link overrides this. The inconvenience of this means I don't use author link even when I'd like to. If they could be made separate elements perhaps this could be fixed?

The clickable arrow will only be shown if a category (author, series, publisher, etc) has a value in its Link field. My understanding is calibre:\\book-details links to books in the same library would need to be in a long text column - viz: BR Last edited by BetterRed; 03-31-2023 at 10:28 PM. |
