[GUI Plugin] Save Virtual Libraries To Column (GUI)
For each book in the library, compute the list of virtual libraries containing that book then save that list to a custom column of type "comma-separated text, behaves like tags". This makes it easier to search for books in multiple virtual libraries or in no virtual library. It also makes the virtual library information available to devices that can read calibre custom columns, for example Calibre Companion.
Note: this plugin also exists as a "Library Closed" plugin. The two plugins share configuration information (the custom column to modify). Installation Steps:

Version 2: change to update the column for a book only if the contents have changed. This avoids setting the last_modified date when nothing is different.

Could you please add functionality as new configuration option :
Check books in library every [box] minutes or hours, so everytime the books change virtual library via calibre companion update read status functions (yes,no), we do not have to go to computer and run the plugin (manually) to update the custom column with new read status function The check will be done automatically in the background at intervals also if selected the message that appear after done changing won't appear Thanks alot Last edited by mohamedselim; 09-10-2017 at 03:51 PM. |

I suspect that you have a permanently running calibre and that you are really asking that the plugin run when a device (CC) disconnects. |

Is there any way to have it run silently without the "updated column" dialog? (I have the "run" action in few action chains that have the potential to change what VLs a book appears in.) Thank you.

Question: with the improvements to virtual_libraries(), should this plugin be considered superceded?

It is no longer needed if running calibre 5.14+ and the only reason you used it was the performance problem. |
