Hello,
I am trying to access and parse the "metadata.calibre" file on the device to gather some information about the contained books, including information stored in a custom column (namely "kindle_collection"). For some reason this part of the metadata is not saved within the file.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some option where I can enable it? Help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. Just set metadata management to automatic under options.
