Is there any way to set up this kind of per-device configuration, like the Kobo Utilities plugin does?
Unfortunately no. I did look at making it device specific at some point, but, some of the dependencies makes that hard. I'll revisit this at some point, but, I don't know when.

An alternative is to use a custom column with a template for the collections. I haven't looked at this before, but there is a function "connected_device_uuid" that could be used. It takes the parameter for the storage and returns the UUID that calibre has in the "driveinfo.calibre" file from the root directory of the device.

With that you could use a template something like:

Code:
if (connected_device_uuid("main") == 'efb3184b-26e8-4017-8359-51b4168d4a92') then
 $#mm_collections
fi;
That is the UUID for my Glo and when it is plugged in, it returns the values that are in the column #mm_collections. Which is a tag-like column.

I have not tested the above for creating collections. The template works in one of my test custom columns. And as it returns a list of tags, it should work with no problems if I used that column as a collection column in the driver configuration.
