Ooops!
I was using it on a netbook with a reduced screen resolution. So the bottom of the screen was cut off. And I hadn't been in that tweak area in a long time. So I forgot there were other buttons down there. All is fine now. Thanks for your quick reply, Kovid. |

I decided to use the virtual library feature to break my library into authors, however, given the number of authors I have ( I did try to restrict those that I gave a virtual library entry ) , I now find that I can't see the "tail end" of these entries. They are definately there as selecting edit displays all entries as the display is oriented further left on the screen.
It appears we need a horizontal scrolling feature or some other alternative. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Cheers. |

Dont create so many VLs Though IIRC Qt usually allows menus that have too many entries to be scrolled, not sure why that isn't happening for you.

Yep...thought about that... I guess I was a bit over over zealous although I did limit VL entries to those authors with more than 3 books in Calibre Library.
Any thoughts about having a book count kept & displayed for each VL entry? Quote:

Plus, VL allows for creating entries from saved searches which with authors would achieve the same thing ( and leave me with the same problem ) Cheers |

Personally I have 930 authors with 3 or more books and creating a VL for each of those authors would make no sense for me to do. I'm curious what advantage do you experience in doing this? |

That is, how does one search for authors with 3 or more books, or publishers with less than 5 etc etc? BR Last edited by BetterRed; 07-15-2013 at 11:46 PM. |

If the name's not there I can fall back on the author tags. I don't see it as an advantage, just the way I'm happy to use it. I have no other use for VLs. Cheers... |
