AL has no control over when Calibre updates metadata.db.
To force the Tag Browser to totally refresh itself, simply close it and then reopen it using the icon in the lower right corner of the GUI.
You might use a more powerful editing tool such as "Manage Tags" to change the spelling en masse.
Search for 'id:30583'.

Thank you for the reply!
I think I've done what you said, but I still can't seem to get the plugin to work though when changing tags via the "Manage Tags" or "Tag Browser"
calibre, version 4.15.0
Audit Log: These are the current Audit Log statuses of each Library for which AL activation has taken place.
Missing Libraries, if any, will be added here the next time that you use them: T:/FULL LIBRARY-2017-07-25 status: ...ACTIVATED...
If I change a single book's tag the log looks like this:
Code:
Time +0000 UTC Book Table Name Table Column Table Action Value Old Value New Other
2020-05-13 19:47:26 30562 books_tags_link tag insert Test Tag
Bulk edit from the main window works as well.
Code:
2020-05-13 19:59:36Time +0000 UTC Book Table Name Table Column Table Action Value Old Value New Other
2020-05-13 19:59:36 30580 books_tags_link tag insert Test Tag
2020-05-13 19:59:36 30582 books_tags_link tag insert Test Tag
If I go to tag browser and rename Test Tag to TestTag, close tag browser, reopen tag browser, I see the changes in the books, as well as in the tag browser, but nothing in the audit log. It still shows just the 1 row from above.
If I go to Category Editor (tags) and rename TestTag to Testing Tag, click ok, close the tag browser, reopen tag browser, I still see the changes in the books, and in the tag browser, but nothing in the audit log.
I even tried rebooting the computer and restarting Calibre.
I know I must be doing something wrong if you say it tracks changes made by the tag browser and Category Editor... but I haven't a clue what!
Any ideas?
Thanks!
