Showing full title?

Lirael · 02-12-2011, 10:41 AM

Hiya, I'm new to using Calibre, and I'm trying to figure out how to change it so that the title column shows the full title of books. Right now it's a really narrow column, only showing a couple letters - which isn't very helpful!

I tried changing my preferences to reduce the number of columns, but that just gave me a really narrow title column and a lot of blank space. I've been poking around but can't figure out how to do this. Any help would be lovely.

Did you try grabing (with your mouse) the bar in the heading, between the Title and the next (to the right) column, and making it bigger?

If you rest your mouse cursor on the division between any two columns, it should change to an arrow pointing left and right. If you click and drag, you can then resize the columns.
If double click instead of single click, you'll get an automatic adjustment to show the longest entry completely.

D'oh!

Never thought of that! I'm normally much more computer-literate, I swear!

Thanks
