Add Custom Column "#pages" in Send To

OldLincoln · 11-27-2016, 12:52 AM

I have the custom column #pages in Calibre, works fine, but it doesn't import into Calibre Companion. I did stumble through adding the Series & index in a custom template thanks to cut & paste. But I don't know about #pages and frankly I'm concerned I'll mess something up if I stumble through it (like the time I ruined my entire database with a single button press).

I sure would appreciate some literal help on this. I'm sending epub format to an Android tablet.

Oops!! It's getting into CC just not FBReader. Sorry to clutter the forum.

Almost no reader apps can see calibre custom columns. Many apps can't see standard columns such as series and publisher. That is why many (most?) people who use CC use it as the library organizer instead of the reader app's function.

And no problem with the "clutter".
