Hello,

I've just discovered Marvin, and the 2 plug-ins, iOS Reader, and Marvin XD.

I'm using an iPad Retina, and ihad no problem for the connexion.

I've transfered around 600eBooks in Marvin. All of them are Sci-Fi. In calibre, I used 19 different tags according to the category of the book (Fantasy, Sci-FI, THriller, HIstorical, etc, ...

I thought that the plug-ins would create collections according to the tags, but nothing happened in this way.

the category that have been created are only based on the series .

I would like to know if it's possible to automatically create collections according to tags during importation, or if it must be done after the transfer to Marvin. If such, it might be a very long process, because, while exploring Marvin XD, I've selected all of my books and create a collection assignment, to a new colelction named S-F. And it took nearly one hour.

A strange thing happened : Marvin XD has now finished to update Marvin Library. The S-F collection has been created in the iPad, and Marvin say that it contains 603 books, which is correct. But in Marvin XD main window, for each of these 603 books, in tne row names Collections, there is a kind of " i ", written in blue, bold. I thought it should be the name of the collection, but no ...

If you can explain me, and answer to my main question about automatic creation of collection, it would be kind of you.

Thank you.
