Now that I have marked my wants, I can create a buy list.įirst, I am going to create a custom search. You cannot have spaces in the Lookup name. The lookup name will be vital for searching. Also important to remember is the lookup name for the user generated column. The yes/no type column actually has three choices. I’ve marked books under “Read” as “blank/Yes/No.” Blank means “To be read”. I marked the books that I want to buy under “want” as yes. The checkmarks indicate which columns will show on the database page. If you downloaded the Pages plugin we discussed last week, you would want to create a “Word Count” and “Page Count” plugin, both integer.
Want and Read are Yes/No while Price is an integer and Reader Comments is long form text.
Here I’ve created “want” “read”, “price”, “reader comments”. Use the green and red buttons to add and delete user create columns. Or simply position your mouse on the header bar of the database page and right click: From the first row of icons, click on the button: Add your own columns. To create a column, CTRL/CMD + P (This opens Preferences). Calibre comes with columns for Title, Title Sort, Author, Author Sort, Date of Publication, Date (that you add the book to Calibre), Size of the file, Rating, Tags, Series, Publisher, Description. Calibre now allows you to create your own custom columns. Once you have the books entered into your library, you can then manipulate the data. The first can be found here for plugins and metadata. Part two of settling up a new library with Calibre. If you want Calibre to launch an external comic book viewer, that’s easy enough: simply install a third-party tool like the incredibly popular CDisplay Ex and it will automatically create the file association for you (if you need help manually creating a file association in Windows, check out our guide here).JanuSetting Up A New Library With Calibre: User Created Columns, Saved Searches, Multiple Libraries, Plugboard RELATED: What Are CBR and CBZ Files, and Why Are They Used for Comics? It either attempts to launch an external application based on whatever operating-system level file association you have set (but fails if there is no file association) or it launches its internal file reader-but only if you’ve expressly configured it to do so. When it comes to comic book archive files, like CBR and CBZ, however, things are a little different.Ĭalibre can organize these files in your library, but if you try to read them, it’ll do one of two things. Throw some EPUB, MOBI, or other ebook formats at it, and it will automatically open all of them with the internal ebook reader packaged right with Calibre.
