I don't know how to explain myself any further. Look at this screenshot again and then at the second one.

The whole "Vampire Chronicles"-collection was listed under the "Docs"-category. When clicking the collection, no personal-tags have been visible on the ebooks themselves.


Just seconds ago I sent the files over again, following this advice:

and now look at what happened.

As you can see, I managed to but them into "Docs" again, but now there's the [personal]-badge visible, which hasn't been there before.

Personally, I prefix "special" tags (those used to make automagic stuff happens, like PDOC or Kindle Collections) with a "+", so that output setting is set to "+Doc" for me. If I ever tag a book with "+Doc" in Calibre, and then send it *over USB, via Calibre's "Send To Device"*, it will end up with a PDOC cdeType (and thus fall in the "Docs" filter of the Homescreen, and get the "Personal" banner on FW 5.X).

You don't need to do a conversion, and it won't actually change a thing, the change is applied to the metadata of the file during the "Send To Device" process (or a Save To Disk). (i.e. it only applies to the on-device file, or the exported file).

I actually already knew this, but was distracted for a moment. Like you said, the tags are just applied to the copy that is stored on the device. Not the file in my library.
