That's basically my thought as well. Plus this is a lot more like a metadata plugboard, so doing it the same way feels more correct. And in fact, that's all the code is. Read the template, call the plugboard function using it.

  1. This works, however, only when I manually send the metadata, it is not updated automatically when I add a book to the device and I connect it the second time
The metadata update is still manual. And automating it as part of the driver is the reason for the other changes in this beta. There are some things I really dislike about the driver that I am trying to fix before I do that. If I get that right, it will help to reduce that bane I mentioned elsewhere.

I've found a problem, however, after updating the status:
I'll come back to this.

And I've not seen any progress bar when I've connected the device.
The progress bar should show when you select a few books and start the update metadata function. If there have only selected a couple of books, you might not notice it. But, when I updated a 1000 books last night, it seemed to take forever.
