Counting Tags
So I've spent the last couple of months chipping away at the tag metadata of all my ebooks. I've gotten it down from 5000 to about 350. I did a significant portion of it in the bulk tag manager, which has resulted in the problem of many of the books having too many tags (upwards of 10).
Can anyone explain to me how to create my own column that contains the tag count for each book? I've been trying to decipher the Calibre user manual for a few hours and my eyes are starting to glaze over... I'd really appreciate a bit of help! Thanks so much |

Please read this (search for "count(separator)").
I think what you need is Code:
{tags:count(,)} Last edited by atjnjk; 03-20-2012 at 07:55 AM. |

Create a column with type "column built from other columns". You probably want to set the "Search/Sort column by" box to "Number" so that you can use numeric sorting, and also searching such as #yourcolkey:>10.
Set the template to Code:
{tags:count(,)} Code:
{tags:'count($, ',')'} Code:
program: count(field('tags'), ',') |
