This is correct, the metadata sync only happens when your device first connects with calibre. Restarting calibre with your device connected is the same thing as connecting your device. If you restart calibre with your device in your gym bag then it won't sync, will it?

No you're not missing anything.

You're doing fine. I don't anticipate this being added as a button because this feature only works with some readers. Sony readers for sure, but I don't believe it works with Kindles or Nooks.

Your best bet is to change your work flow with connecting the reader to your computer after you finish with your changes.
