I've just noticed that all the books I've sideloaded onto my Kobo over the last few weeks have come across without any collection settings attached to them. I always update the KoboShelves in Calibre before transferring, but none of these new books show as having any collections assigned to them once they land in Kobo. Calibre is 4.23, Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2 has firmware 4.23.15548.

The only thing that stands out to me as unusual is that I replaced my laptop in mid-August so it is a new install of Calibre (would have been 4.22 initially but I updated to 4.23 within a day or two or that coming out) but using my pre-existing Calibre library that was copied to the new laptop. I definitely testing transferring books from 4.22 but can't be 100% sure that I checked whether the collection settings came across.

I've tried changing the Sending Books To Device metadata management from manual to automatic but this didn't make a difference. Is there something obvious I'm missing, or is it one of those weird things that might magically resolve when the next Kobo firmware or Calibre update comes out?
