Pagecount and corresponding column

HibDelyatt · 07-08-2024, 10:02 AM

Hello all,
When I have imported an epub into Calibre, I would like to display the page number of the book in a column in the booklist. The column in the book list should have the name "Seiten".
I already have installed the "Count Pages" plugin.
How do I proceed now?
Thanks for your help and best regards.

Right click on the count pages ICON: Help
There is a section on Configure
Basically, you will create Custom Columns for the items you want to collect.
You said Pages (the name is not critical), just the Type (Integer)
This needs a restart of Calibre to complete.

Once that is done, you the configure the Plugin, setting the Pages item to the Lookup (starts with a #) name.
You can pick what algorithm is used to calculate that value.
(there is a second tab, with other options: such as Look Up from a site instead of Calculate. I prefer the Calculate as ALL will use the same exact method)

To use, simply select the book to process, and click the icon... and wait till the spinner stops.

When you are asking for help for a given plugin, don't start a new thread. You should go to the plugin thread to ask your question(s).

however, the OP posted their issue in the main forum, and a moderator (not me) moved it here.
