So I understand that in order to get certain changes to 'stick', you need to reconvert. I believe the cover is the key element in this regard, since some/all metadata does get updated when pushing to a device.

This has set off a mild OCD paranoia for me -- as soon as I make any change (say, fixing a casing issue in the title) I instantly reconvert. This is because I've grown tired of uploading a file, only to find i need to delete, reconvert, and resend to get the right cover.

Is there any way to tell which files have been updated but still need to be re-converted to, say, mobi, to get the changes to stick?

I'd think a simple date comparison between last metadata change (or just cover change?) and the creation date of your format of choice (in my case, mobi) would allow the generation of a column (or report) which shows you which files need reconversion.

Thoughts? Solutions?
