sort books that do not have a summary
Can I sort books that do not have a summary of the book into a special column?
I have more than 4,000 books in Caliber now, and I want to identify the books that do not have a summary so that I can download them privately. Last edited by awakil; 03-23-2024 at 08:35 PM. |

Sorry, I did not understand the comment (I use Google Translate). Is there a problem with the question?

If you type comments:false in the calibre search box you will see all books that do not have comments defined

Thank you very much. I was confused between the previous response and the member’s signature. I thought he would refuse to help

In this case, a bit more detail would have helped but after a while, you start jumping from A to Z without showing the intervening steps. Last edited by DNSB; 03-23-2024 at 11:40 PM. |

@awakil. After entering what @theducks told you, you can save the search in a virtual library to always have it at hand

Apart from the grammatical mistake in that sentence, and the dubious assumptions you are making about this fellow Calibre user who is just asking an honest question, why do you feel the need to respond in such a condescending manner to awakil?

Additionally, you actually want to search for the word 'false,' use a squiggly like comments:~false .

I used they instead of he/she and when using they as a singular, there is a some disagreement about whether to use plural or singular verb forms. I used the singular form to match my use of the singular they. The plural form may sound more correct since that is what most English speaking people are used to hearing but 'are' is defined as a plural form and it is grammatically incorrect to use with a singular pronoun. That might depend on whether you are a fan of prescriptive or descriptive grammar rules. Of course, given that most English language rules tend to have more exceptions that conforming entries, that may not be of much help. Any other questions from the grammar police? Condescending? The @awakil suggested that the response that was received was being understood as a refusal to help based on how their reading of @theducks' sig. Perhaps you should have quoted the entire first paragraph of my reply where I was attempting to expand on @theducks attitude towards helping? |

theducks's answer was right on target, however on some atypical interpretation I find amusing, this might unexpectedly have become something like "I decline to comment."
I love their signature: "I will provide: key words, tips, links - - and my favorite... Brainstorming solution to a unique situation." |

The point of my sig was to ALSO help folk LEARN.
If we "mommy make it go away" , the user is no further ahead after this solution. Some of this is because of the way I learn... and why I don't have a degree. Books are for pleasure reading (and a task reference), not for read and regurgitate to pass a test. YMMV as always. BTW there is a dividing line between the message and Sig, that folk seem to miss |
