How to set the last page of linear flow

There was reference to contextual menu that would let me pick the last page for percentage complete Calculations, but I couldn't seem to find it in the page browser ui.

Am I missing something here ?

I'm currently reading a book that has like a two hundred or three hundred page bibliography so it'd be really handy to eliminate those pages from the percentage complete calculation

First you have to go to ToC/bookmark settings → enabled custom hidden flows. Then you can long press on a page in the page browser.

Ok thank you! That works to enable the hidden flow, but I don't see anything really changing other than the TOC entries, and a cool shading section on the page browser. The % complete and such don't seem to have changed at all.

Well I think I got it right. I went to bibliography page 700, then hit "Start hidden flow here" and pages 700-1000 (bibliography I do not want to read) gets greyed out but the % and status bar calculations don't seem to get updated, even after restarting koreader.

That's very strange. That sounds right and it should take effect immediately. Do your regular page numbers have the double slash in the status bar, e.g. 100//700 instead of 100/1000?

OK I understand what's happening now. For whatever reason the bottom status bar is completely correct and that // bar thing is exactly what you state.

However, the top status bar (aka the alternate status bar) doesn't seem to be in sync with the bottom status bar, meaning that I'm much further along at any given time on the bottom status bar then the alternate status bar.

I typically read with both the bottom and the alternate status bar simultaneously. Is there a way to get that one to update based on the hidden pages too?

I don't think that's currently possible or planned. Pinging @poire-z just in case.

Not possible.

We don't love the top status bar. So you all should start to hate it too - this will help :)
