The Report Dialog checks for all XSLT templates in the installation path and in $KDEHOME/share/apps/tellico/report-templates/. So you can create new ones, and they are automatically found and included as options in the Report Dialog. Some complex reports may take a while to generate for large collections. The templates that are installed with Tellico include a list of titles only, the default column view, a group view, a summary of all of the groups and the most popular values in those groups, a loan report, and a large report with cover images. Select the desired template and click the Generate button. Any report may also be printed or saved to an HTML file. OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x

Copy the Image_List.xsl file to ~/.kde/share/apps/tellico/report-templates/ (or wherever your KDE home folder is, and you may have to create the directory) and rename it to Image_List_by_author.xsl. Edit line 138 or so and change it from Code: Select all `<xsl:sort lang="$lang" select=".//tc:title[1]"/>` to Code: Select all `<xsl:sort lang="$lang" select=".//tc:author[1]"/>` See if that works for you.

I think that a couple more sort templates could be useful. If I'm successful I'll pass them on. annew, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct and a KDE user since 2002.

Secondary sorting by title, after sorting by author, can be done by putting the title sort line after the author sort line in the XSL file.
annew Manager Posts 1155 Karma 11 OS	Re: To print a catalogue Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:27 pm Thanks. The other thing that would be really helpful is to be able to add a pagebreak when the author changes. This would make it easy to keep the catalogue up to date without reprinting everything. So far I haven't worked out how to do that. XML is not a language I've actually worked with, so I'm grokking it slowly and I haven't had much time to spend on it yet. annew, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct and a KDE user since 2002.
