3rd time now. "Category name" is unresponsive. I have to type in the field next to it and guess the right buttons. "Category filter" works "Item filter" triggers flashing, so I'll have to avoid it. My coordination issues make it hard to scroll "Available Items." And the menu won't let me keyboard up or down it. I tried selecting items and moving them, but that didn't work until I got a category name to stick. |

Okay, I have it set up, but is there any way to show the resulting user category? with all the books by the authors in the category?
P.S. @Favorite Authors:true Got mixed up because when I found instructions, I copied and didn't spot the spelling differences. Last edited by MarjaE; 09-25-2020 at 06:40 PM. |

Blame the French
Glad we got there - to avoid the tag browser I use saved searches. BR |

Thank you. Now I'm trying to figure out how to create a search and virtual library for everything which is not in any of the other Authors categories... using @Favorite Authors:false doesn't work and using NOT @Favorite Authors:true doesn't either.

IMO @Favorite Books:false should be allowed, I suggest you post a message at Bugs : calibre
Meanwhile, you could mark the books in UC "Favorite Books", and then do a search for marked:false. BR |

How are spaces treated in search? Maybe try @"Favorite Authors":true?
I avoid using any spaces in tags and user categories. For user categories, I use @Favorite.Authors and @Favorite.Books instead. |

If I add quotes, I don't get any results.

Note, I'm just using the native implementation and haven't tried installing the plugin version. As far as I know, support for User Categories has been built-in to Calibre since at least 3.15 (last version of Calibre I used before that was 0.9.x, iirc ) and it's not something I bothered looking into until recently.

If the user category has subcategories then @category:true and @category:false find only the items in the first level. The subcategories are ignored. If you want the category and all of its children, use @category:.true and @category:.false. Just as in hierarchical columns, the '.' tells calibre to include the children.

No subcategories involved. I suspect Calibre just isn't updating something.

New release 1.5.5, fixing the problem @MarjaE reported. No other change in functionality.

An update to Calibre 6 beta would be very very nice.
