Actions and Column
why it is impossible to bind the action "Book View" V, to a custom column with the Date type. Mark the date of viewing. I mean, by default, embed all such functions on the columns, and let the user choose what to do ... Otherwise, you have to program some complex chains of actions

I use the attached non-official plugin for that. It needs a custom column created this way:

Its in the JobSpy plugin. Scroll down to the bottom of the Configuration window and look for Update Last-Viewed Custom Column Automatically.

last time I tried JS for that, my emblem rule that sets an icon in cover grid for opened books (#lastopened -> is set) wouldn't update instantly. That's why I resorted to the one I mentioned...

If you're asking again about the action chain I posted:

If you're using 'V', you also need to unbind the default View action first.

Personally, I stopped using Job Spy because I preferred to bind it to a specific action— JS would change the date for any 'view' action, even opening a secondary format from the MDE. (That said, I bind my chain to 'R', to stand for 'read', and leave V for regular viewing.)

oh, that's nice! in addition to "last viewed/opened", a "times read/viewed" column, it seems.

I will try this method and see how it goes

Apparently, the OP hasn't tried that, so far...

I don't use times read myself - I made the chain for Fynjisx.
