Question Auto sync is not so auto sync? (Sony PRS-650)

Hi, guys.

A question about metadata sync or maybe a tweak suggestion.

I explain myself. I've set Metadata Management to Automatic. In this way I expect that every change I make into Calibre is transferred to the e-book reader on the fly. (Example: Title corrections, Tags or any other custom field assigned to a Collection, etc.)

But I've noticed that the metadata update only happens when I start Calibre or when I connect the device. I mean, whenever I have previously started Calibre and I have previously connected the reader, then if change any metadata it doesn't update till:
  • I exit and re-start Calibre again
    or
  • I unplug and replug the reader

So:
  • Am I missing any option in Calibre?
  • Or I'm doing fine but Calibre actually doesn't have fully auto-update functionality. In this last situation:
    • Could you add it?
    • If due any technical reason this fully auto-update is not possible, could you add a "Sync NOW" option under the device button as a more elegant work-around?

Thanks in advance
