Ah. So I guess what it actually does is read the latest modified-dates off the OS modified date on any file in the book folder? Or does calibre just assign today's date when I Edit or change any metadata?

I don't use Empty Books, prefer using placeholder formats for wishlist items then switch formats when a good format for that book comes in. But if I did use Empty Books, I'd use the Modified column.

I can't think of any other reasons to want Modified to take up library booklist space.
