That's weird. I have a #kobocoll column (tag-like) set as the Collections column, and in KTE's settings I have it set to "create collections" and "delete empty bookshelves."

I also made sure that "Update metadata on the device" was checked.

If I add an entry to #kobocoll before uploading the book to the device, it appears on the Kobo fine.

But here's where I have trouble:

1. I have the device unplugged. I modify the #kobocoll with a new entry for some of the books I know are on my device.
2. I plug in the device.
3. Wait for Kobo Utilities to update my Calibre columns, do a reading list sync if needed, and then eject the device.

But the newly-added collections don't appear on the device. Did I miss a step somewhere?

EDIT: I figured it out. Somehow it got switched over to manual management in the Calibre settings. I was looking in the wrong place.
