The Quickview window opens on top of the |app| window and will stay open until you explicitly close it. You can use Quickview and the |app| library view at the same time. For example, if in the |app| library view you click on a category column (tags, series, publisher, authors, etc) for a book, the Quickview window contents will change to show you in the left-hand side pane the items in that category for the selected book (e.g., the tags for that book). The first item in that list will be selected, and Quickview will show you on the right-hand side pane all the books in your library that reference that item. Click on an different item in the left-hand pane to see the books with that different item. diff --git a/src/calibre/gui2/library/models.py b/src/calibre/gui2/library/models.py index 32caf6bd82..d09af99eb6 100644 --- a/src/calibre/gui2/library/models.py +++ b/src/calibre/gui2/library/models.py @@ -907,7 +907,7 @@ class BooksModel(QAbstractTableModel): # {{{ if ht == 'timestamp': # change help text because users know this field as 'date' ht = 'date' if self.db.field_metadata[self.column_map[section]]['is_category']: - is_cat = _('.
