If I select "sync to this device as soon as it's connected," (autoSync) in Reading List options is there any way to ensure that the Kobo Utilities column update runs before the old books get deleted from the device?

If this question is better asked over in the Kobo Utilities thread I can ask there.
I don't believe there is a way to control this. Both plugins are waiting for a signal from calibre that there is a device connected and ready. I don't believe there is a way to control which plugin gets it first. It is probably whichever is "registered" first. And I don't know of a way to determine that. I haven't really been paying attention to it recently, but, I'm pretty sure that which of the Reading List or Kobo Utilities gets the signal first, can be different each time I connect the device.
