Add Custom Column To Category Side Panel
I have a custom column created 'Shortlist'. I use this to list all the books that i plan/want to read. The column type is Yes/No.
I would like to add a field to the left of Calibre to show only the items that return the answer 'Yes' from my 'Shortlist' column. Basically a group/location where i can go to only the books that i have listed 'Yes'. Ao i can pick what i want to read next. Side note: I don't know if have a 'Shortlist' category is the most efficient way to track the items that i want to read. Open to suggestions. |

Yes/No columns aren't included in the Tag Browser sidebar. You could use a Saved Search to do what you want
FWIW - I use the Reading List plugin for this, basically I have three - Books to Get, Books to be Read, Books to be Re-read. The Reading lists show in the Tag Browser. The Reading List PI will also play ball with your reading device. BR |

You can also create a virtual library for that

I leave my VL tabs showing all the time for the ability to quick switch those lists. ALL | No Format | Have Read | To Read | TBEdited No format is a combination of Wishlist and a record of my Dead Tree Library TBE says I have not yet touched the code. |
