button to today date [Solved]
hello all
this is just a suggestion/request as I cannot find the function anywhere I sort my PTR (pile to read) base on the date added to calibre sometime, while looking for something, I find more than one book so I decide to push to the top of the pile a few of them to do so, I just have to change the date to "Today" however there is not an easy way to do so, and when some books are as old as a few month, it takes a while to move them to the top I believe I could select them, do a group "Edit metadata" remove the date then add today's date, it is not the most convenient, so I hope this suggestion will find its way to "the dev " ![]() Last edited by reup; 08-03-2024 at 01:08 PM.

I really suggest you NOT repurpose such a basic column {date} like that.
There is the Reading list Plugin for those who wish to manage their habit ![]() Custom Columns can be made for almost any data type FWIW = is the keystroke for a Date type (in edit mode) for Today |

I use tags and custom columns for my TBR piles. Changing the date is about the most inconvenient way I can think of how to manage a TBR list.

Action Chains' single-field edit lets you use a preset 'today' on datetime columns. You can map a chain to a keyboard shortcut.
Reading List plugin with a custom series column will be easier though, this will let you reorder the books. |

this is exactly what I needed, in the main view of calibre, clicking on the date will make the field editable, then using the = will change the date to today's date !! this software is so well designed, and this forum so helpful !!! thanks again all, I mark this as resolved |

It's amusing to see this when we've just had a member leave MobileRead in a snit over how poorly designed he felt calibre was compared to Alfa book manager and his inability to handle the discussion.

everyone is own choice
as long as people stay respectful, specially of the ones that develop and the ones that offer help, none with any obligation to do so |
