Title node in Tag Browser
Many thanks for such an amazing program, have been able to do almost anything I can imagine, with the help of some plugins and regex!
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything. Is it possible to add the Title as a node in the Tag Browser side window? I would really love to add a Title node to Authors, Languages, Series etc. to show > Title > A > B > C etc. Many thanks for any pointers! |

You can do it via the saved searches function. DO search for
title:~^A this will give you all books with titles starting with A. Save the search, naming it "A". Repeat for all the letters. Now in the Tag browser you should have saved searches named A-Z you can use. An alternative, slighlty harder method would be to use a template based custom column that displays only the first letter of the title. |

Very creative, thanks.
And BTW thanks for such a fantastic program. If anyone else has the same question in the future, the template I used was {title:shorten(1,,0)} Last edited by shinyplastic; 02-20-2018 at 11:34 PM. |

Using title_sort instead of title may be preferable for some users.

Great suggestion, fixes both the uppercase / lowercase and 'A' 'The' etc. problems. Thanks.
