All right, I have the Last Modified plugin/new date modified column set to count

Book Metadata Changed
Book Format Added
Book Cover Modified
Book Modified By Calibre Editor
Book Created

Today a handful of books jumped to the top of the modified column despite me not touching them in any way. So I'm assuming whatever it is doing this, edited one or more of those metrics in the affected books.

(There was a good suggestion up-thread to compare to my backups, but I don't have backups for my Calibre library, only my e-devices. I will have to rectify that in future.)

What could be editing any of those metrics?

I looked through user-added plugins to see what's there. The only ones that are new (in the last week or so, since getting my kobo) are Kindle hi-res covers, Kobo Metadata, Resize Cover, and Last Modified. Could any of those be doing it?

I *think* there are some newly-activated plugins that I did not have to install, that were in Calibre already, but I don't know a way to see only those.

Of the 7 books affected, I am POSITIVE that one did not have any tags, but now it does. I can't swear that the other six had zero tags - I don't remember either way - but now I'm thinking it's Kobo Metadata, importing tags (and maybe other things?) to the affected files. Is that something that plugin can do on its own?
