Sorry if this has been asked already. Two things.

1.
I don't understand why there is a mapping from GR shelves to tags, but it is used only one way. If I add a book to a GR shelf from calibre, I don't see the tag automatically in calibre too. I either have to sync from GR, or to add manually the action in the "add to shelf" action.
It seems a useless duplication of work.
Am I missing something?

2.
Suppose I have a book in Calibre that I want to read and I want to put into the "fantasy" shelf. If I add it only to "fantasy" from Calibre, it will also get added to "read" and the finished date of today.
If I add it at the same time to both "fantasy" and "to-read", it will not be "read" in GR, but the finished date will still be set.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
