Dropdown list with multiple select?

feuille · 03-07-2023, 08:47 AM

Hello,
I'm using for my metadata plugins the options objects to let Calibre build the options GUI. For the 'type' parameter, I'm using 'choices'.
It is possible to select more than on entry in the GUI, or should I code my own options GUI?

No there's no builtin multi select. You can use a text field like calibre uses for authors or tags in the edit metadata dialog.
