I'm happy to write off that error to garbage data. That was my Test library into which I've tossed and removed every bit of junk and dross you can imagine over the past several years, e.g. there could be icon rules floating around for columns that no longer exist or icons that no longer exist etc.
I'm more concerned that on a clean library with no pre-existing icon rules the EM icon didn't show up on a second item until I shuffled the rules around in L&F Column icons and hit Apply. BR |

I'll do a test with regular column icons - but IIRC in that case after adding a rule you have to hit the Apply - I'm pretty sure. BR |

Version 1.0.5 Entity 'Column Color' Rules. Enhancements to 'Column Icon' Rules
Version 1.0.5 - 2019-01-13 Entity 'Column Color' Rules. Enhancements to Entity 'Column Icon' Rules.
ToolTips, including Menu ToolTips, are required reading. There are functions and features that you will not discover or not understand unless you initially read all of the ToolTips, including Menu ToolTips. If you use the Favorites Plug-in instead of toolbar icons, you may have to add the EM icon to a visible toolbar temporarily so you can view the Menu ToolTips. Refer to the images attached to the Original Post for EM. NOTE: Version 1.04 EM users must click the EM icon one time to invoke the EM main window, which will automatically upgrade your database to Version 1.0.5 which has more EM tables than the prior version. The main EM menu action always does any necessary housekeeping every time it starts. There is a ToolTip to that effect in the menus of Column Icon Rules and Column Color Rules. Example housekeeping: you add a new Custom Column to the current Library. EM must know about it before you add Icon or Color Rules, or even create an Entity for that new Entity Type.

[Not Tested due to Trigger] UPDATE books SET title = (REPLACE(title,(SUBSTR(title,115)),''))
WHERE LENGTH(title) > 115;
Since the SQLite tool that you would be using has no active user-defined function called 'title_sort' that Calibre creates whenever it runs, you will have to temporarily copy the Triggers for the table (books in the example above) to a text file, drop the Triggers, run your queries, then add the Triggers back to what they were using the copy you made. I did not want to go to the effort to do that just to be able to test the example query shown above. Quote:

You missed the point. I don't want to bother fixing up extra long tags.
I want the menu width limited so I can pick them without the menu obliterating my entire screen. Quote:

I'm trying to determine if I can replace my #Credit column with its various authors, illustrators, mappers, cartographers, etc with an Entity from this plugin. But if I'm understanding the way this plugin works, it's dependent on those names having previously been entered into the calibre database. In other words, I cannot just create a new entity and entity value independently and use that with the primary author.
In addition, with multiple entries into a single field, any relationships are with all of the existing values as a set. So a book with multiple Authors can have only have a relationship with all of those Authors as a group, not with one of these Authors individually. (Note I have tried very hard not to use certain functional keywords [association, value, entity, etc] out of context, but grasping this is rather mind-warping and I might have done so accidentally.) |

I've discovered that on my 15" laptop screen that the lowest portion of your Entities Manager dialog isn't visible. I must Hide Manage Note for everything below the Manage Associations' value field to appear.
