Hi,
I'm a rather new user of Calibre. I have a bunch of PDF I carefully tagged in Calibre and when taking them to Stanza I saw that the tags were lost. I've read that Calibre update the metadata only on send and save to disk.
So here are my questions: When I activate the content server, does it count as a Send to or Save to disk, ie will it update the metadata when Stanza will take the books through the wireless connection?
The second one is a little bit more annoying: I tried the Save to disk and it indeed updates the title, author and Creator/Software, but I was hoping to see the tags inside the keywords section (and replace some existing for example) and .... nothing.... I tried it with PDFs 1.5 and 1.6.
Finally, I saw that some people already asked for it but I didn't find the answer: do you know of a way to force the update of the metadata (for pdfs, but also for other formats) inside the files in the calibre library (without doing a X to X conversion) ?
That's all folks ;-)
Thanks in advance?

PS: I forgot I'm on Mac 10.6.7, Calibre 0.7.52
