Good point, I agree with you, the current default should stay.

This might not be easily implemented, but it would be nice if a "Don't download tags" option was up front in the preferences. OTOH once someone discovers that there are options in one plugin they start exploring the other plugins and a world opens up to them.

I fell in the same historic path you stated, always used calibre etc... But I didn't have one stray collection because I always had calibre create my collections from tags and series and never manually edited collections via calibre on my device. Lucky me.

@Chaley If I had helped beta test this I would have given it a green light because like you my usage wouldn't have revealed any problems.

Thanks again! The speed improvement was worth the temporary confusion.
