I thought I'd ask, to check my assumptions:

Assumption 1: Size shows in both library view and device view, with the same lookup name {size}, so I assume the size data on device view is populated from the same field as in library view, rather than from the filesize on the device at connect-device. So if the size of file was changed on the device, calibre wouldn't know.

Assumption 2: Date {date} on library view (for when book is added) is different lookup name than Date {timestamp} on device view, so Date {timestamp} indicates when format was added to device, populated from data on the device at connect-device.

Are those assumptions true? Did I get any pieces wrong?
