Book-details panels and keyboard focus
I'm referring to the detached BD panels (non-modal dialogue boxes) not the embedded BD panel under or to the right of the book list/grid, i.e:
After popping either of these (in my 'priority' order)
That's the problem with adding new features, someone will use them BR |

I could resolve the return of keyboard focus to book list by putting a calibre://show-book link into a long-text column.
However, I can't figure out how to do that for existing books via Bulk metadata search and replace. I can replace an empty long-text field with a suitably wrapped calibre://show-book/_hex_-426f6f6b73/NNNNNN easy enough, but I don't want NNNNNN, I want the value of the id column. I tried replacing NNNNNN with {id} to no avail. Can templates be used in the replace string? BR Last edited by BetterRed; 05-11-2023 at 09:12 PM. |

Use template as the source field, (^.*$) as the search field, and \1 as the replacement field. Ensure that the source template produces the answer you want.

But I found a different solution that has given me what I want, I used an existing #book-row virtual column whose template is {id} as the search field. But now at least, I know how template searches are meant to be used. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 05-15-2023 at 09:01 PM. |
