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.
The last thing is the most common reason for collections not to be updated. And in the driver configuration, the collection management and "Update metadata on the device" options are completely independent. The settings of one do not affect the other. If you find they do, it is a bug and I'll need detail to fix it.
