Hi, before I describe my problem I just want to thank you guys for an amazing app that has transformed the way I read stuff on my Android devices!

To describe how I'm using my setup: I use a Calibre plugin called FFDownloader to download fanfiction and save it as epubs in one of my calibre libraries. A lot of these fanfictions are works in progress, and so every few days I use a feature of the FFDownloader plugin to check all my in-progress fics I have saved and re-downloads the ones that have been updated. So, the epub is modified and new stuff is added to it, I think. I have CC using Book IDs for filenames, and the Book IDs don't change after updating the fanfic epubs. I have CC sorting by date, and so previously when I send my freshly updated fanfics over to my device, CC would show me the latest updated fanfics at the top of the list. It was a good setup, and very convenient for me.

But lately, I'm not sure which update it was, but things have now changed. When I connect CC to my Calibre fanfic library, it will sync the metadata of the newly updated fanfics and show me that these fics have new dates to them immediately, before I've actually sent them to my device yet, so the metadata CC is showing me is incorrect for the version of the file on my device. It's not a showstopper, but it's annoying because I have to play it safe and just send over everything I've ever updated today, both new downloads and updated fanfics, as I have no way of knowing from looking at the information on CC which of the existing fanfics have actually been updated, and which haven't (that is, once I've connected my device to Calibre). I use both a tablet and a phone for this, using Moon+ Reader Pro's cloud syncing to keep my reading positions between devices, so sometimes I'll send over the files to one device, but forget to send them to the other, yet the information CC gives me on both devices is that the fanfic is updated. It's quite frustrating sometimes.
