I believe if you have Automatic Management enabled, it's possible to customize collection names to something like "Series: Harry Potter", "Genre: Fantasy" by using the following tweak:

sony_collection_renaming_rules={'series':'Series', 'tags':'Genre'}
sony_collection_name_template='{category:||: }{value}'

Is there a way to get similar behavior when using Manual Management? Might this be doable by customizing the Device Interface Plugin?

If that's not possible, would Automatic Management work with a multi-library, multiple calibre install scenario?

For example, what would happen if the same reader was connected/synced to the following computers/libraries.

Computer A Library 1 {'series': 'Series', 'tags': 'Genre', '#type': ''}
(title, series [series_index], tags, #type)

• "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Harry Potter [1.0]", "Fantasy", "Fiction"
• "Twilight", "Twilight [1.0]", "Paranormal", "Fiction"

Computer A Library 2 {'series': 'Series', 'tags': 'Category', '#type': ''}
(title, series [series_index], tags, #type)

• "Fanfic Title #1", "", "Harry Potter", "Fanfiction"
• "Fanfic Title #2", "", "Harry Potter", "Fanfiction"

Computer B Library 3 {'series': 'Series', 'tags': 'Genre', '#type': ''}
(title, series [series_index], tags, #type)

• "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Harry Potter [1.0]", "Children, Fantasy", "Fiction"

Computer B Library 4 {'series': 'Series', 'tags': 'Category', '#type': ''}
(title, series [series_index], tags, #type)

• "Fanfic Title #1", "", "Harry Potter", "Fanfiction"
• "Fanfic Title #2", "", "Harry Potter, Twilight", "Fanfiction"

Say I sync my reader with Library 1, then 2, then 3, then 4. Would it give me the following collections:

Fiction
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Twilight

Fanfiction
Fanfic Title #1
Fanfic Title #2

Category: Harry Potter
Fanfic Title #1
Fanfic Title #2

Category: Twilight
Fanfic Title #2

Genre: Children
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Genre: Fantasy
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Genre: Paranormal
Twilight

Series: Harry Potter
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Series: Twilight
Twilight

Thanks!
