"Total" value statistic

Post by jjprusk »

It would be nice to add a "total" value statistic to the "statistics" function. Given the list of book values, it would interesting to see the total for a given library.

The total value for the selected collection is displayed at the bottom of the window. The information displayed can be adjusted in the preference under the style tab, the total value for list price (Value) should be on by default and the paid price (Paid) can be added.

I did previously see this option, but when I selected it the value didn't show up in the status. However, I've since found out that I needed to actually exit the application for this change to take effect. You may want to have an "Apply" button or make the changes when the preferences pane is completed - this could stop a potential bit of confusion.

You actually just need to switch to another collection to have the new statistics apply at the bottom of the window but thank you for the feedback. We'll change that for the next version to have it update automatically when you close the preferences.
