Custom Columns Not showing up on View

miajoshua · 02-08-2015, 03:43 AM

This may seem like a very simple question.

I've added a bunch of custom columns (CC).
I've checked them to display in the library book list.
However, each time I close Calibre, the program defaults back to the default columns.

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to write a script to save this CC library? If so can someone point me to the instructions?

Thank you so much.

@miajoshua - no, you don't have to write anything extra

Silly questions

Did you hit the Apply button after adding the columns ?
Are the new columns selected in Preferences->Add your own columns?
Are the new columns hidden - scrolled off to the right ?

If you're using the View Manager plugin, then you'll need to select the new columns in the relevant views.

Could you post a screen shot of Preferences->Add your own columns?

I knew it was silly!! But I just couldn't figure it out!

I was using the View Manager plugin (one of many I downloaded <- Greedy!) and I forgot to put in the Last View used!

Thank you so much!!
