Nope. This is now made explicit in the description. Note that versions <= 1.2.0 would actually remove child collections from a collection whose "other" content was modified; this is fixed with v1.2.1.

Both of these should be fixed in 1.2.1. Since I don't have books which match the first case, please report back on whether it works as it should now. (but it should

(They used the same *sha1sum trick as for books on previous firmwares, so custom Kindlets could be managed via Calibre). |
That's right. Anything which doesn't have a cdeKey (or doesn't pass a few other sanity checks) is vigorously ignored
Thanks for the reports and the testing!
