Columns when viewing device

woodygirl · 09-11-2011, 01:15 PM

I have looked everywhere and haven't found any info on this, so I apologize if it's already been addressed.
When I have my Nook connected and click on the tab to view the books on my Nook, is there a way to modify the columns in that view? It defaults with the columns "In Library", "Title", "Authors", "Date", "Size", "Collections". I would like to have my "Tags" column available, like it is in the Library view. Does anyone know of anyway to do this?
Thank you!

I think it has been stated elsewhere that the device view only ahs a limited set of columns available.

Why not simply work from Library view with a restriction in place of ondevice=true. That would show you the files that Calibre thinks are in its library and on the device, and give you all the columns you could want.

IMHO the only reason to Switch to The Device View, is to find a Book that is ON the device, but IS NOT in the Library.

The On Device column will show a tick for all other books (present in the Library) Tags are available in this view.
