This is really counter-intuitive...If I change the metadata, well, it's just to change them...Why ask for something more?

So, if I use calibre because I wish only to change the metadata, instead of changing them, plain and clean, I must after it tell calibre to save to disk?

If I understood this properly, this is very confusing...

As far as I am concerned, I use freeware programs to change metadata at least for pdf files because I had trouble with calibre output , probably because of this , for me at least, "strange" behaviour.

And for tags? They are I suppose part of the metadata? We need to create them with calibre and save to disk also? What triggers the creation of a collection in the Reader?
