Sounds like a good idea.

The one thing I screwed up was that when I first created the column I made it "Text" rather than "Comma separated text, like tags." When I just maintained it manually it didn't matter, but for the plug-in, to assign a book to more than one collection you need the latter (at least I assume so?). So I had to make a new column and copy the contents over.

I've just updated my test version to allow you to split a text field from Calibre into separate Collections. Its much better to use the right type of column, but adding this was fairly easy.

Still, the "collections" column in my device view is now entirely empty, while it used to show my collections (that's how I manually maintained my library column before the plug-in). I don't believe the change occurred right when I first installed the plug-in (which was one of the early versions, possibly the second or third), but I don't know exactly when.
Any thoughts about how I could go about debugging this?

There could be a minor difference in the way the file format is handled between Calibre, Kindle, and the plug-in. I'll have to do some testing with clean collections files and look at Calibre's code for handling the collections.



@jay2222 - a long time ago you asked about using tags like tgSKI in your titles for items send from Read It Later. Well, with the addition of the title to the customization dialog and the ability to split on a character in the next version of the plugin, you'll be able to create collections for your tags.
