Access custom fields from metadata DB
Hello,
I try to write my first Calibre plugin and have some problems extracting especially the custom fields with the db api. what I do is this: Code:
db = self.gui.current_db.new_api book_ids = self.gui.library_view.get_selected_ids() for bid in book_ids: lh = db.get_metadata(bid) But how can I access the custom field to store them in variables ? |

db.field_for('#mycolumn', book_id)
or lh.get('#mycolumn') |
