It mostly works for me. There are problems with text/non-multiple columns.

My steps to test:

1) create an empty library with copy structure.
2) switch back to the original library
3) Find a book with only .mobi format. I chose mobi so that there wouldn't be any significant metadata stored in the book.
4) ensure that all the custom columns of every type for that book have data in them. Includes text, enumeration, text/multiple, int, float, yes/no, date, and composite.
5) Save the mobi format to disk. After the save, I see in the saved-to folder:
-- book.mobi
-- metadata.opf
-- book.jpg
6) switch to the empty library
7) do "add books from directories, including sub-directories (One book per directory ...)"

At this point I see the book with all the custom columns filled in *except* the text/non-multiple ones. There is indeed a problem here, and I have submitted a fix to Kovid.
