I was sending some books to my Sony 650 and noticed they were added to my All Books in Order by Author and All Books in Order by Title collections, but not the series or tags (contemporary).

I looked in my Metadata Plugboards list and only the KoboTouch is listed. I am pretty sure I used to have a pluboard for the Sony. But it's been so long since I set that up I don't remember what it was. I know books were always added with the applicable series and tags.

And it was there on Sept 10th the last time I added books to my Sony.

I have updated to version 2.3 in the interim. I did not manually delete the plugboard as that is a setting I do not access on any sort of regular basis.

I do have a backup copy of my Calibre Preferences from back in March (I obviously need to remember to back that up more frequently), but no idea where the plugboard info is stored. And since I have updated Calibre to the new 2.0 version since if it is even possible to restore from an older Calibre Preferences backup.

Is there something in the new version that affected plugboards? I can try to go back through the older threads to see what I had the plugboard set as I know I used a template from MobileRead. Also it's odd the All Books by Author and All Books by Title still was added as I thought that was part of the plugboard.

Help.
