Oh, right. Ok I know where my confusion has come from. The way I access that particular settings page is through the icon for your plugin. See image.
I assumed it was part of your plugin, because that is where I was accessing it. Instead, as you describe, it is a convenient shortcut. Hmmm, if I did not have your plugin and that icon on the toolbar, I would have been hard pressed finding the setting.

I don't have the extended driver installed.

Yep, I am one of those people
You have previously corrected me with Series, by explaining that disconnecting and reconnecting updated the series metadata because I mistakenly thought it was your plugin that was updating the metadata.

Thank your again @davidfor for explaining how Collections works.

The comment in red above it is mine as the instructions have caused problems, but, I haven't had time to rewrite them. And I'm not quite sure what they should be. And, I keep hoping someone else will do it
Yes, I saw the red text and edit history as I thought the page looked slightly different to the last time I checked it.
Wiki's are a great thing, but difficult to maintain. I admin another wiki elsewhere and it does my head in at times, trying to keep up.
