Jacket editing help
I hope someone is able/willing to help me out here. These requests are more along the lines of things I'd like, not that I absolutely have to have.

@MerlinMama - You can customise the jacket via a resources override, the "Customising calibre" section of the manual has an overview.
Also search the Calibre forum for 'custom jacket', IIRC some of your wishes have been raised before. BR |

There was a previous post about using roman numerals. I don't want that. I want the format USED when using roman numerals. I've tinkered, but nothing seems to give the results I want...sometimes causing unexpected results! Right now on the jacket, if you use [roman.series], it shows as: Number XX of Season Seven. If you use just [series], it shows as: Season Seven [20]. I hoped to be able to get: Number 20 of Season Seven. Just hoping someone has an idea for it. |

I wouldn't have thought your wishes can come true by changing Send, Save, or Plugboard templates settings
Maybe the series one could be done with a template function - it's the last item in Preferences. I assume My Rating is a custom column, what happens if you tick the half stars box in the custom column definition (that assumes a 1-10 rating), a 3 should show one and a half stars in the book list and book details, does that not show up in the jacket?

{series} here is being applied as if it was {series} [{series_index}] in a regular template. They are not separated fields |

I wonder if its a font issue, I have an inkling that half-stars are not present in some fonts. A while back I helped someone with calculating a 1-10 custom rating based on number of times viewed. The issue of fonts came up then, can't recall the context, but I don't think it was jackets Nuh, just checked, the issue was whether the half stars could be white stars. My records indicate calibre includes the stars and half stars in its CalibreSymbols font file, not sure if/how it can be used in the jacket. BR |

@MerlinMama, for adding your ratings as stars (including half star)) you have to create a custom column which transforms the ratings in the proper stars and include that column in the jacket (I've done it in that way at least). I cannot help you a lot with the custom column, because I don't use regex but python programs (I'm more fluent programming), but I get them in that way.
