Well, here is where I am at based on the feedback I've gotten since my last post:
1. When the device is plugged in, Calibre automatically updates the metadata, including any Kobo collections which have not been "ignored" in the Kobo Touch plugin.
2. Kobo Utilities > "Get Shelves" can be clicked once the device is plugged in . . . but it will only retrieve whatever shelves each book currently has. Which means, it is essentially pulling information from the Kobo that was just sent to it from Calibre.
This puts me back in the position of only being able to manage shelves from Calibre OR from the Kobo, but not both. Not a terrible place to be since I've been managing my collections from the device up until this point, but again I suggest that it would be beneficial for the above steps to occur in reverse order - FIRST check the user's device for shelves, THEN give them the option to make changes in Calibre. Make sense?
