MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - [GUI Plugin] Kindle Collections (old)

Spoiler:

So I'm gong to end up with the same results all over again, nothing in my collections. Needless to say, I didn't really run the create. I thought the way this worked was that when you Created the Collections, everything was recreated from scratch. It didn't just do the changes just made.

It's not clear to me how this should work.
