Multiple icons in a column?
I have a lot of fan fictions in my library, so I created a custom column called 'Fandom' which indicates which series they belong to. I've set it up so each fandom has a different 16x16 icon, but there are a lot of crossovers as well which I would like to have display the icons for both series.
So far, I've managed to work around by adding rules for each combination of fandoms and having separately saved icons with their symbols already side-by-side (32x16), but it would be a lot simpler if I could simply have the column display the two symbols separately so I don't have to photoshop them together for each type of crossover and set up rules for each individual crossover category. Is there a way to do this using advanced rules or templates? Any ideas or suggestions? A couple of screenshots to illustrate: |

There is no way to display multiple icons in a column using icon rules.
If you python-fu is up to it then at least in theory you could write a custom template function that checks if a combined icon does not exist, creating it if it does not. This would require the function to use various image manipulation tools to create a new icon. It would return the name of the correct icon file, perhaps newly created. You would use that custom function in an advanced template. I said "in theory" because I haven't ever tried to do image or file manipulation in a custom function. Should work, but YMMV. |

Ah, ok. I've never used python, but I'm a fairly quick learner when it comes to code. I'll have to study up on it some, maybe I can write one out - if not, I'll just keep using my current method. Thanks for your time and quick response!
