|
||||
When |app| connects with the device, it retrieves all collections for the books on the device. The collections
|
||||
of which books are members are shown on the device view.
|
||||
|
||||
When you send a book to the device, |app| will if necessary create new collections based on the metadata for
|
||||
that book, then add the book to the collections. By default, collections are created from tags and series. You
|
||||
can control what metadata is used by going to Preferences->Plugins->Device Interface plugins and customizing
|
||||
the SONY device interface plugin.
|
||||
When you send a book to the device, |app| will add the book to collections based on the metadata for that book. By
|
||||
default, collections are created from tags and series. You can control what metadata is used by going to
|
||||
Preferences->Plugins->Device Interface plugins and customizing the SONY device interface plugin. If you remove all
|
||||
values, |app| will not add the book to any collection.
|
||||
|
||||
|app| will not delete already existing collections for a book on your device when you resend the book to the
|
||||
device. To ensure that the collections are based only on current |app| metadata, first delete the books from
|
||||
the device, and then resend the books.
|
||||
Collection management is largely controlled by 'Preserve device collections' found at Preferences->Add/Save->Sending
|
||||
to device. If checked (the default), managing collections is left to the user; |app| will not delete already
|
||||
existing collections for a book on your device when you resend the book to the device, but |app| will add the book to
|
||||
collections if necessary. To ensure that the collections for a book are based only on current |app| metadata, first
|
||||
delete the books from the device, then resend the books. You can edit collections directly on the device view by
|
||||
double-clicking or right-clicking in the collections column.
|
||||
|
||||
You can edit collections on the device in the device view in |app| by double clicking or right clicking on the
|
||||
collections field. This is the only way to remove a book from a collection.
|
||||
If 'Preserve device collections' is not checked, then |app| will manage collections. Collections will be built using
|
||||
|app| metadata exclusively. Sending a book to the device will correct the collections for that book so its
|
||||
collections exactly match the book's metadata. Collections are added and deleted as necessary. Editing collections on
|
||||
the device pane is not permitted, because collections not in the metadata will be removed automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
In summary, check 'Preserve device collections' if you want to manage collections yourself. Collections for a book
|
||||
will never be removed by |app|, but can be removed by you by editing on the device view. Uncheck 'Preserve device
|
||||
collections' if you want |app| to manage the collections, adding books to and removing books from collections as
|
||||
needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Can I use both |app| and the SONY software to manage my reader?
