I actually use both selection methods quite often, and keep having to change the plugin preferences manually.

Hi quisvir. I think the issue you're having is with the need to reconfigure the plugin each time you wish to use the plugin in a different way (i.e. select from device list vs. collection set). I use the plugin in the same way and I would be quite annoyed if I needed to do that each time as well. You shouldn't need to do that though.

You can configure the plugin up front (and once only) to handle these different scenarios. In the Preferences, you can define multiple profiles. So you can have one profile that is set up to choose books from the device list selection, and another profile set up to choose books from your collection set. I've attached a coupe of images below to demonstrate. Note that you can change the name of a profile to whatever you wish by double-clicking on the profile entry in the listbox.

With multiple profiles defined, the action dialog that appears when you run the "Book List" action will present you with a dropbox where you can select which profile you want to use.

I think that should address your concern, but please let me know if that's not the case. You may be using the plugin in a different way than I am and I may not be understanding the issue correctly.

Thanks for your support!
