v1.4 Beta
In response to a few things floating around the forums I have spent today experimenting with a new option for this plugin.
Apart from cosmetic changes to the configuration dialog and a new Clear list submenu, the big new feature is the addition of a list type that is auto-populated from the device when you sync to it, as you can see in this screenshot attached.
The purpose of this list type is for people who want a way of keeping track of what is on their device while it is not connected. Note that the list is read-only - you cannot add or remove from it, nor you can you edit it to change order. (If you want a list that you can add/remove, then you can instead use the "Replace device with list, add/overwrite all" I added a few weeks ago)
As with other reading lists you can specify a column to set/remove a value from based on items being on the list. So in the example shown, I add a tag called "Kindle". So regardless of whether my kindle is connected or not, I can see whether I have already sent a book to the device.
If you use calibre's send to device or remove from device directly to add/remove books (rather than syncing via a second list with this plugin), then just doing a "Sync Now" or the device being connected will trigger the list being updated.
Please have a play with it and let me know what you think. I haven't found any bugs with my own testing, but I want to get some feedback on how people think it works as a concept.
