I'm looking for a way to get Calibre to update the metadata of the files added to my Kobo while the device is still connected. I have the KoboTouchExtended plugin installed which updates metadata on connection. However, any files added will not have their metadata updated until I eject and reconnect the device.

I've tried the KoboUtilities plugin, but when I select 'Update metadata in device library' I get the message: calibre, version 6.11.0
Kobo Utilities - Device library updated: Update summary:
Books updated=0
Unchanged books=0
Books not on device=1
Total books=1

After ejecting and reconnecting it is then able to find the books and just lists them as unchanged.

I tried my best to find a solution on this myself but I'm not too good with this kind of thing, so hopefully someone out there will help me. What would be the best way to go about this?
