Make lists of books with calibre collections?

Valentinnn · 06-08-2018, 10:17 AM

Hello,

I would like to know if there is a way to makes lists with books collections on calibre? for exemples I have 10 Sci fi books in the collection of the same name, I would like to export all the books name on a sheet in order to have a printed list with a case that I can tick If I read it?
I have a great amount of books separated by more than 20 collections, could be really cool If someone know how to do that (Manually one by one is gonna take me days to do it, I'll probably kill myself before

)

Thanks guys

Background: Catalog respects restricted views. So all you need to do is have Highlight mode (blue bars on results) OFF.

2 steps PER list

Search for what you want in the list. eg. series:foo
now, right-click the Convert Icon:select Catalog:set options

I suggest CSV as you can use your fav spreadsheet to further sort the list or format printing

Thanks theducks for that really fast reply,

I'll do that, I'm gonna have a raw list of my books but I'll have to put all the name in a document in order to have them on a list all sorted. I dont think there is a better way to do it.

Thank you very much

Another tool to look at (it is documented in the online help) is one of the old Commandline tools: calibredb --list
