Size column (from data.uncompressed_size) precision

D_Tomblin · 06-16-2019, 01:16 AM

Not sure if this has been previously posted, but I haven't been able to find any references to this. I'd like calibre to be able to display the size column with 2 digit precision rather than the single digit after the decimal point. I curate quite a few books using calibre and typically prefer a larger-sized book ILO smaller ones in cases of duplication.

Now that I've prefaced this question:

Is this something that can be currently done without making major modifications to the software and/or database?

Does anyone have a clue they'd like to share? I'd really appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

You can display sizes with whatever precision, or even as bytes if you want using a custom column, see https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/template_lang.html search the page for size to get various function that return different sizes related to books.
