KOBO HD AURA issue with read yes/no

[Tan]

I am using Davids add on for Kobo Aura HD (which is brilliant). I have a column on the desktop Calibre for %read and another column for read yes/no (which is a green tick or red cross.) When I have finished reading a book and connect Kobo back to desktop, the % read is 100%. But it doesn’t change the read tick/cross to green tick. How can I do this?

Did you configure the plugin to know what column is used for what?
Making the column is not enough, only step 1

Making an assumption here: If you have a manually-set yes/no column, this isn't possible.

Alternate is to go to Calibre Preferences > Look & Feel > Column Icons and set icons. One for between 0 - 99, and one for 100.

Another alternate: This template in a composite ('column built from other columns') using Show Checkmarks should work. Make sure column lookup is right.

program:
## Set to your percent read column
	read = $$#percentread;

	if read >=#0 && read <=#99 then 'No'
	elif read ==# 100 then 'Yes'
	fi

here is my pref under column icons (attached). Can you please walk me through how to do this. I am not good at this programming stuff, thank you!

Try these. I'll give you an extra status that comes in very helpful

For read books:



For unread books:



For currently-reading books:



You may want to set "icon without text" instead. The percent-read will still be available via tooltip.

Thank you ownedbycats
It is asking for an icon?
I don't remember setting an icon for the other 2 I have in there. On the column it just has the number 100 in read. How can I make it the same? (see attach)
