Something was missed somewhere or I just do not understand your post at all. I already have Kobo Touch and Kobo Touch Extended set up as you show and have had them set up for years (see attached image).
4.31 finally busted my Kobo but good. After restarting it, the Kobo all of a sudden needed me to sign in and was acting like a brand new device.
I rolled back to firmware 4.30 and have reapplied patches.
Now, since the above happened, I have not added any books to my Kobo (all books on my Kobo are sideloaded. Every single one).
Over time, Kobo rebuilt my library. When I got signed out, the sideloaded books were not wiped from the device. Kobo just 'forgot' about them and slowly rebuilt its database.
Once that was all done, I noticed that in My Books, Series was blank. Collections showed all of my collection names. But they all show '0 books'
I hooked the Kobo back up to Calibre and clicked 'Update cached metadata on device.'
When I ejected, Series was repopulated.
Collections still shows all collection names, but each still lists '0 books' (see attached image)
I have tried restarting and have tried connecting to Calibre and clicking 'Update cached metadata on device' several times. Everything else is coming back together. But I can't seem to get collections rebuilt.
Do I have to delete all books and then sideload them again to get collections to work?
