Hello everyone,
how can I disable this new value tab or at least hide it in the overview of a book?
Some people may find the value option quite helpful, but I don’t need it, for me it is rather annoying in the overview…
Kinds regards

The value is shown in the List view of the app, in the location where previously the ISBN was shown. You can use the Settings screen to revert that. The setting is called:
- Show Values in List View. Disable that setting to show ISBNs again.
Next to that, the value is only shown in the details page of each book. I am afraid it cannot be hidden from there at the moment.
If I deactivate this option, nothing really happens visibly.
I think it’s quite intrusive for the user to implement something like this without the user being able to freely use a new option as an option or not. Or at least to be able to delete the automatically entered value like entries in other fields…
For me, the only option for now is to enter all future books manually and not via the core.
Hope there will be a change in near future…
If I deactivate this option, nothing really happens visibly.
Huh? Can you show me in your LIST of books that nothing changed for you with the feature on?
In List View, the values should really not show if you activate this feature, if they are still showing there in the list, as you mention, then that is a bug. Please can you show me that with screenshots of your list view and your settings?

I don’t agree that everything new we build should always be an option. Sometimes things just change, get added.
But: I’ve taken note of your comment on the intrusive part of us adding that to the details view. My apologies for doing that, we can consider having an option for it.

Woh.. that sounds a bit much? You have no other choice than to add all books manually now?
Perhaps I need to differentiate:
Of course you can implement ideas and change things at your discretion, for example adding the ‘Value’ tab when editing, because perhaps many users would like that. But what I don’t think is good is when, as in this example, a field is automated and cannot be edited and is then also mandatory in the overview view of a book. As a user, I would like to decide what is displayed for a book on my shelf - which was previously possible for most things. Only now this automatic and non-deselectable value is imposed when I add certain books via the core…
That’s why I prefer to add books manually for now - which isn’t that time-consuming after all, I don’t add 20 books every day

Now I’ve had enough grumbling for now, I just wanted to say again that I’m ultimately very happy with your apps, you’re doing a great job overall and for me as a cataloguing freak, Books and Music are a nice enrichment for my everyday reading life
Thank you for your kind words. I just got caught up a bit in the intrusive and the immediate go to “now I have to add everything manually” it felt a bit much to do that instead of just having those 2 numbers there.
In any case: we are considering adding an option to hide them or not download them, or clear them all. Some form of that.
