Change which libraries are shown in the library menu

africalass · 06-21-2012, 05:21 AM

Hi there!

I just wondered if the following is possible - maybe an option I've overlooked...

If I choose the Library button ('choose calibre library to work with') there are several options at the top (quick switch, rename library etc...) and then below that a list of five of my calibre libraries. Obviously I can get to any library by choosing the quick switch, but to choose one of the five listed is even quicker (I often switch between libraries).

Is there any way of customising which five appear. I get the impression it is the first five I created at the moment - but would love it to be the last five accessed libraries (or a user chosen list).

Just a minor thing, but if anyone could let me know if this is possible I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

No it isn't, those are the five most frequently used libraries.

Fantastic - thanks so much for the reply.

Does this mean the most frequently used libraries of all time (which may explain why it seems to consist of my earliest libraries, even though I don't use them so much now)

or the most frequently used libraries over the last x days/weeks/months? (which would mean I have been entirely ignorant of it changing, entirely possible knowing me!)

If the former is there a 'refresh' button?

Thanks again

All time. You can simply use the remove library to have calibre "forget" about the old libraries.
