@Tony, sorry about hijacking your thread. That hijack started out sort of on topic and drifted off.

@theducks, it's temping to relate the jokes that arose in my mind. Heh. But I'll refrain. The tweak I saw there doesn't apply to my choice of preferred sequences to insure all metadata gets updated between the save and add operations. "Control how tags are applied when copying books to another library": "Set this to True to ensure that tags in 'Tags to add when adding a book' are added when copying books to another library". Now I'm trying to address the issue of exactly when the internal metadata in the actual book format gets updated.

Edit. Per kiwidude, CopyToLibrary doesn't do it.

Edit2. If I save/send an epub out then add to a different library, does the update of internal epub metadata happen during the save/send or during the add? Logically it must only happen during the Save to Disk or Send to devices, correct?
