not only "To read" OR "Done read"
So, - life goes on...
- my custom column of logical 'yes/no' type ('To read' / 'Done read') doesn't seem to be universal enough - now I need to have 'in-between' attribute in addition - something like 'In doubt' - how can I make appropriate custom column instead of the following |

I have a "Read" column. The yes/no checkbox can be three state - tick, cross and unchecked. I use tick for those I've finished reading, cross from those I haven't read yet, and leave it blank for those I've decided I'm not going to read.

Enumerated column is the easiest method.
My method is to have a #percentread column and then use a template to then translate that into a reading status. This is mainly becuase Kobo Utilities can populate the percentread from my device. Here's a simplified version of the template I use: Code:
program: percent = $$#percentread; if (percent >=#1 && percent <=#99) then 'Currently Reading' elif percent >=#100 then 'Read' elif percent == 'None' then '' elif percent >=#0 then 'Unread' fi Last edited by ownedbycats; 03-27-2024 at 04:45 AM. Reason: mild code changes |

- since VL with 'Read' value contains books with both 'Read' and 'Not Read' attributes - I slightly modified attributes to avoid such interference |
