Prepare to be underwhelmed. Intrigue-worthy it definitely isn't I'll PM you a link.

We had a very brief conversation about it a couple of years ago and you reminded me about the updated TOC issue. I realised at that point that the support issues would be endless (and repetitive), no matter how good the help notes and warnings were. I can't say I blame you for wiping it from your memory banks.

It's buried just deep enough to make it hard to change, and there isn't really anything that currently uses it.
Just so you know, this plugin only runs on demand rather than automatically at connection time. It's also only currently aimed at identifying books already on the device (using metadata.calibre) which have changed in the calibre library (by comparing file system timestamps) rather than also looking for brand new books. Still, I'm sure you'll be able to add all sorts of bells & whistles.
