I'm not 100% sure how this works. I have "Sync only from Calibre to CC" set, so I don't see how anything I do on the CC side could invalidate the device cache on the computer. Do changes in the calibre side force CC to send over its metadata again? Do you update based on modified date, or by comparing the two side's metadata?

In any case, I went to sleep last night after doing a sync, and I got up this morning, added a book to my library, and did another sync. I didn't do any metadata change on the Calibre side that would impact 5300 books. Except for a couple of books, I didn't make any metadata changes at all. I might have deleted a dozen or so non-epub metadata files. I just checked to be sure, and I don't have any custom column definitions that change their value automatically based on date or anything like that.

I have plenty of free space on my drive.
