Sorry guys but I'm a little confused as to how to use this functionality IN calibre.

I've updated to 0.7.45 after I saw the changelog but I'm not able to get calibre to do the work I was doing manually...see post 83(https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...5&postcount=83)

Could someone just explain if I have the wrong end of the stick here:

1) Say I have 5 books, mobi format and all imported into my Calibre library 6 months ago (ie. with a version less than 0.7.44).
2) All the books do NOT have their ASIN/EBOK fields set.
3) Say my kindle is completely empty.
4) I upgrade to 0.7.45.
5) If I transfer a book to my kindle via calibre, will it add the metadata during the transfer (my tests show this to be a NO).

How do I set the ASIN/EBOK fields using calibre in this instance? Do I just reimport all the books again? Or am I missing a command somewhere?

Thanks very much guys!
