Hello!
I installed reading list a while ago, but didnt use it. Now i wanted to give a try, due to the "auto send to device". So i added my books to a new created reading list, which resulted that every single metadata.opf was touched. So far so ... good?
But then things got strange. I added a new book to calibre and added the book to my reading list. And i saw that every single metadata.opf was touched again.
Here my question: Is that a bug or is it part of the game? When its intended, so why every .opf? That seems to be unnecessary.
How i saw this? I am backing up the library via rsync, so i noticed the change of the files. And as a bad side-effect its extremely slow, so changing all .opf needs round about 2 days. Because only between 10 and maybe 30 files are touched within 3 to 5 minutes. I have a script which is starting the rsync now every 5 minutes (i started with 90 seconds and then in several steps changed to the mentioned 5 minutes.) But the amount of files which get touched doesnt grow with higher pause times.

So at the moment i removed reading list from my installation to clear up that behaviour.

So please could the maintainer of the plugin clear that up?
Thanks a lot!
