Thanks again!

I'm tantalisingly close to having set up my system to handle collections info. properly. But I have one remaining problem.

I now have a "Collections" column, with comma-separated, tag-style information. I had no problem (eventually!) transferring collections information from the device into Calibre. But now I can't seem to figure out how to do the reverse - i.e. now all of my collections are defined on Calibre, I want to update, add new collections, etc. *from* Calibre onto the device. I did have metadata management set to manual, so as to avoid any further mishaps. I've now switched it to automatic - but collections information still fails to update on the device when I plug it in. This is especially baffling because series information updates on the device with no problem.

Once again, I feel like I suspect my mother feels when I'm trying, for the 99th time, to explain to her what cutting-and-pasting is. But if you could get me past this final challenge, I'd be very grateful!
