Which is why the usual, recommended approach is doing it during a good old USBMS session, as *that* will trigger a scan on eject.

(If you have NickelMenu installed, a scan or a full_scan triggered that way *ought* to do the same, but I've never actually tried it myself to handle this very specific use-case).
Thanks a lot for the reply! I have modified the file using text editor from the PC while kobo was connected with the USB.. is this what you mean by USBMS session? or did I just do something extremely naive?

sorry for the question, I am just very new to this!
