You didn't read the documentation I posted above. The template doesn't have book metadata available because the values in the tag browser aren't books. The template has the category name and the category value. I think that in this case instead of looking at #kobostatus you would look at something like

$value == '[Send To Device]'

This works because templates are category specific.

That doesn't tell me much. Have you defined a template, which will override the default? Have you defined a specific icon?

I added a template then accidentally 'restore default category icon' which reset the default column icon. When i tried to put the icon back it didnt work. (no popup)

Fix committed.

I had no expectations but I was hoping that the category item icons would be shown in book details, so I gave it a spin.

After adding a category item icon, it wasn't obvious to me how I could remove it; so, I used brute force and deleted it from tb_icons, when that didn't make it go away I guessed it was cached so I restarted calibre… et voilà, gone completely:



I now know that the way to remove a category item icon is to select the Manage icon for <item name>->Use the default icon for <item name> option, viz:

]

But seeing that icon free "Banking" leads me to ask: Would it be possible to provide an option that hid all icons in the Tab browser apart from the top level category icons? For me they are distracting space wasting clutter.

I'm not going to add an option to turn off icons under a category.

However, you can get most of the way there by adding a template for the default. If the template returns a non-existent file name then no item values will have an icon unless overridden by some other rule. The category and the partitioning entries will still have the category icon.

I just tried it with this template

program: '--'

I got this:


You could also do it by making an empty icon and having the template return that.

I got the Kobo status figured out. Good that it carries over to my @On Kobo custom category.

Did you use a template or individual rules?

[ownedbycats]

Template.

program:
		switch_if(		
			$value=='[Send to Device]', 'Device_SendToDevice.png',
			$value=='[Kobo Store]', 'Device_DRMLocked.png',
			$value=='[Remove from Device]', 'Device_RemoveFromDevice.png',
			''
		)

My suggestion was to hide category item icons for all categories, not hide them a per category basis, but your trick gets me most of the way there, maybe I can 'hide' the partition icons with a transparent icon.

In the tag browser, right-click on the category of interest. Choose "Manage icon for this value" then choose "Use/edit a template to choose the default value icon".

See post 7 for documentation of this new feature.

I don't see any of those options
