Hierarchy category doesn't cycles through 5 searches

groob · 01-25-2024, 08:51 PM

Hello,
I've created a hierarchy strictly following the manual at this page: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/sub_groups.html

I've added sub-categories and I can see the "Genre" hierarchy with its sub-categories in the tag browser.

However when clicking either at the top of the "genre" category or on any of its sub-category I can't cycles through 5 searches as described in the manual page.

It's either a simple green plus or simple red minus sign, all the others are not shown.

Is it something I've messed up or is it intended like this?

Oops, I had forgot this step

"Then after restarting calibre, you must tell calibre that the column is to be treated as a hierarchy. Go to Preferences → Look & feel → Tag browser and enter the lookup name “#genre” into the “Categories with hierarchical items” box. Press Apply, and you are done with setting up."
