Hey David,
Thanks!

I have noticed that some PDFs on my Forma have names they have extracted from the PDF rather than the names I gave them on Calibre. Often these are nonsense names that make the books hard to find with a search.

[Addendum: maybe this only happened with some older books I put on there. It seems likely the ones I carefully named are okay. So maybe Calibre is working as expected...Nevertheless:]

Is the metadata plugboard a way to force the Kobo to name them the same as I do in Calibre?

If so, how can I force the Kobo to show PDF names as the file names, or better still, just the titles I've given in Calibre?
