Order of Custom Columns in Edit Metadata
I would like to be able to control the order in which Custom Columns are presented in the Edit Metadata dialogue
I would envisage another tab in Look & Feel Preferences for Edit Metadata which would display the Custom Columns and allow the ordering of them as is done elsewhere with the green up & down arrows Last edited by BetterRed; 03-10-2013 at 11:50 PM. |

Thanks
Is that newish - I looked in Tweaks some months back for it, although I know better how to find things in there these days. And voila it works BR Last edited by BetterRed; 03-11-2013 at 01:59 AM. |

Took me a while to find the different layouts for md edit - I use compact.
If anyone's wonders who voted 'Lousy Idea' - that was me :lol: |

it should look something like this - note the single quotes ('), commas (,) and crunchies (#) Code:
['#meta', '#metachecked', '#status', '#last_action_date', '#last_action'] BR |

I did do that exactly and keep getting the error. I've even tried adding one at a time and get an error.

So what you have in the Edit tweak window is something like the below? Show us (copy & paste) exactly everything you have in that tweak window.
Code:
# Order of custom column(s) in edit metadata
metadata_edit_custom_column_order = ['#meta', '#metachecked', '#status', '#last_action_date', '#last_action']
Good Luck. |

First: You need to use the Bottom one (Apply) for EACH tweak (section) you change, 'Restore (this tweak's) Default' Button at the Bottom: applies to the Single Tweak shown, (You still will need need to Apply it ![]() Second: After all changes: Then, you use the TOP one, to save and Leave. |

I enter the order I want custom metadata to be. I then hit the bottom apply button. then the Apply button on top and get the same error. This is an example of what I've entered (copied and pasted from the tweaks window): metadata_edit_custom_column_order = ['#collection', '#genre', '#book'] I still keep getting the same error. |

Go to Preferences->Miscellaneous->Open configuration directory. Find a file in that directory called tweaks.py. Delete it, then restart calibre.
