Reverse selection in Calibre library

BeeTee-Ess · 04-29-2014, 11:51 PM

I have a batch of files selected in my Calibre library,

How can I deselect them, and select the ones that were not selected?

Edit: I need to be able to repeat the process, ie: switch backwards and forwards at will.

@BeeTee-Ess - try this

Mark the selected books (with Mark Books) - Ctrl/M

search for marked:false

Added : Don't forget to clear the Marks when you've done - you may want to put Mark Books in a toolbar to do that, or set up a kb shortcut to do it as I don't think there's a default. Or restart calibre - the marks are temporary.

Thanks @BetterRed.

I was fiddling with tags. Your process is much neater.
