How much can I do in Calibre?
Hello everyone, I would like to make an automatic counter column for some books in calibre. Can you help me?

And for the love of ghod, what made you decide that Comic Sans was the font to use? |

I made a column titled "stockpile" and I would like to create another one that would take into account only those.
I like "comic sans" and I use it also in word |

Can you please edit your post to get rid of that awful comic sans?
Anyone who likes comic sans doesn't deserve Calibre. Do you know you can side load comic sans on your Kindle (hopefully you have a new enough Kindle) and read using it there. So what exactly is it that you want to do? Last edited by JSWolf; 06-20-2021 at 04:02 AM. |

I can respect someone who shamelessly, unironically likes comic-sans. This is someone who likes what they like without worrying about pleasing others. Keep on trucking, buddy.

Being "pretend outraged" by the sight of Comic Sans is a long-standing Internet meme. It is not supposed to be a real thing.
It should not be yet another excuse to bother someone asking a question in this forum. |

The real problem s the OP did not yet give enough details of what he wants to do for anyone to be able to give an answer.

@Eufrasia - if the #stockpile column appears in the Tag Browser (depends of column type), the number of books in that category is shown in the Tab Browser (left sidebar) - e.g. Stockpile 5.
If it's a yes/no column do a search for #stockpile:"Yes" and look at the status line. If that doesn't help, then you need to give us more detail. BR |

That was why I requested more information and then commented on Comic Sans. I do find Comic Sans offensive (no pretense required) but chacun à son goût on your personal machine.

I'm not outraged or finding it "unbearable" (it didn't show in CS for me as I have control of my browser fonts); I'm trying to advise you on how you personally can see everything in this forum, and elsewhere, in your favourite font. Instead of just setting your posts to show to others in CS, which doesn't achieve your goal.
