Hi, Joseph!
All very good workflow suggestions--thank you!

The Label Creator interface doesn't allow one to edit the label right before
printing, however (please correct me if I'm wrong!), and there is currently no
way in Koha to tell the Label Creator interface to correctly format our spine
labels for printing.  So we need to edit every, single spine label before
printing, and the Quick interface provides the only way.  We need to correct
spacing between the initial alphanumeric sequence (putting the first 1-3,
alphabet characters on one line, and then the 1-4 numeric characters following
those--the whole number--on the next line), and then shorten information for
printing, e.g., the item record may have:
v. 3, no. 2 (spring 2023) c.2
And in the spine label this needs tightening to fit & breaking into separate
lines, e.g.:
v.3:2
(spring
2023)
c.2

And it would be so easy if the pop-up window were persistent to just delete the
"c.2" and change "v.3:2" to "v.3:3..." etc.

And I imagine it would be easy in consortia, multiple branch settings, etc., to
add appropriate prefixes above the call no., e.g. something like:

North
618.473
K763

Then:  South, Central, West...

And there is a benefit to using the Quick Spine Label Creator as well, in that
you don't have to leave the record!  If the person who has just put on the
barcode also puts the spine label onto the correct item, it eliminates a lot of
potential error down the workflow.
