RFE - Books Show Container Type

[DarkStar1977 119]

On books section filter, there's the option to show "Container", but does nothing:

I understand this must show the container of the book (epub, mobi, pdf), the same way as in movies is shown MKV, MP4, AVI, etc:

This would be very useful when you have a book whith different containers, so the user can download the desired version:

The only workaround now is to show the file name and make the pictures enough bigger to show the extension, but this needs to be done book by book, something that is a complete mess.

Thanks

In my test on 4.9.0.13 I couldn't get container to show at any level.  (could have been from old install)

• Set container field when importing all books

Tested Refreshing library.

But deleting and readding the library it showed at level before item as there is a nesting/folder view here.  

              

 

 

I will assume structure will apply to where you will actually see container.  But additional layer is added above.

Author folder\Series folder\book folders

Collapse true/false made no difference in my test.
