[Feature Request] Collection View mode

s@chi · 06-09-2017, 03:18 AM

It's something like Kodi's Collection View(Movie Set) feature,
or something like iTunes Album View mode.

There're many books that have a many-volume like the complete works (of Shakespeare or any). Especially in the comic category, single book could have 100 more volumes.
Calibre is now showing those entire books as a flat library.
So...this feature would be much help for Library Management.

Sorry for my poor English.
And thanks for your awesome work, Calibre.
I hope that my English gets through to you.

Assuming all those books have the same tag or series or author. Simply click on that tag or series or author i the tag browser on the left and you will get a view with only the books in that collection.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Yes. When I click the series tag, Calibre shows the list of series.
But I feel it's a part of search function. My request is more about Grid interface.
...something like this ↓

I'm confused, clicking in the Tag browser works in the existing grid interface as well.
