Metadata Plugboard Data in a Custom Column

nynaevelan · 01-10-2012, 12:56 PM

Hi:

I use the following plugboard in both my kindle and kindle for pc. Due to having to update collections manually on my Touch, I am not forced to use the k4pc software to maintain my collections. I would like to know if it is possible to add the plugboard info to a custom column in order to more easily compare the two databases, is this possible:

{#stripped_series:lookup(.\s,#initials,.,#shortene d,series)}{series_index:0>2s| [|] }{title} - {tags}

Nyn

IIRC if you create a composite column (column built from other columns, you can use the same template you use in your plugboard.
