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!
How do you know that the metadata.opf files are being touched by the Reading List plugin? How are they being touched? Is something being added to the contents? If so, what is it?

I've just added and removed some books from my default list and not a single metadata.opf belonging to those books was touched. The time/dates are the same as before using Reading List. Also, I've looked at the contents of some and I see nothing added to the contents.
