Go to Specific Row Number in Library?

Nukjoc · 02-27-2019, 09:23 PM

Is there a way to jump to a specific row number in a library? I'm editing metadata in a large library and, for example, when the library opens with Row 1 at the top, would like to get directly to Row 7348 to pick up where I left off in the previous editing session. If there's a shortcut for this, I haven't found it yet....

Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End are the only shortcuts I know of.
OTOH
sort (descending) on Last_Modified should get that record near the top.
Row numbers are fairly meaningless as sorts reorder things
last_modified is the date ANY metadata for that record changed

or search

Code:

last_modified:<=today

You can replace today with a date or other date term as mentioned in the online help for searching

You could add a custom yes/no column (#metaedited/MetaEdited), select the books up to 7348 and Set MetaEdited to Yes. Define a virtual library (2B Metaedited) with search term not #metaedited:true.

Then, as you edit the metadata you would set the MetaEdited column to Yes.

There are too many coincidental ways in which date modified gets updated, eg if you correct a misspelt Tag all books with that Tag get their date modified reset. I have a Last Changed custom column that I set, usually by entering '=' which sets it to 'Now'. If I correct a misspelt Tag my Last Changed date stays as is.
