Question Calibre Show Books Read in Cover Grid
I came across this website and it said you could show read under each read book in the Cover Grid.
I don't know what I did wrong, but it didn't work. It still showed the book title under the cover.
Couldn't find any suggestions in the calibre manual.
Help needed please

Ooops!
Now find I was getting Cover grid mixed up with Cover Browser.
After all these years always more I find in calibre.

So it is Cover Browser I want books titled read
Any way to do that?

What is your field name for read, and what type, and what is a value when read
(I use a date in column #read)

#read is you column name
The type is Logical

If #read is True (show emblem chosen)

@Jo69 - did you try putting your read column into Preferences->Look and Feel->Cover Browser->Field for subtitle ?

There is no way to decorate the Cover browser with emblems, badges, crests, icons, emjois etc.

Sorry don't understand
I have created my read column
But was just wondering if at the top of the Cover Browser I could get rid of the book title under the book cover and get it to auto change to read, when I click yes in the read yes no column.

No to Changing what shows. The code conditional (show/noshow) happens at different places.

Why bother showing the cover if you have read it. Just create a Virtual Library (VL): To Read (#read:false)

You cannot replace the Title, but you can show your Read column as a subtitle, viz:

Click image for larger version Name: 1.jpg Views: 1052 Size: 255.7 KB ID: 160994

Just put your Read column where I have Came From.

But if you change Read in the book list it won't change what's shown in the cover browser dynamically, you have to reselect the book in the book list (i.e. down arrow/up arrow).
