First a simple check, please post a screencap of the settings window of Prefs - Plugins - Device Interface - Sony PRST1 - Customize

I've just done a connect/disconnect to calibre and have no problems. Following that I transferred a few new books via send-to-device - still no problems. I'm using calibre v0.8.61.
No, it's 'vanished' a couple of different times since then. My workaround has been to re-add the metadata plugboards [I click edit, then don't edit anything, and then 'save'], seems to work.

Remember I'm rather a tech-challenged person, so haven't done screencaps

Settings checked: epub and others [I only have epubs anyway]
use sub directory
save template: {author_sort}/{title} - {authors}
comma separated: series,tags
then 'upload', 'refresh', and 'preserve' all checked, last option 'use Sony' is not

Current Calibre version 8.62

And just like bringing your car to a mechanic, I've just 'synced' 3 different times in a row and lost nothing...

But I figured I'd voice that it's happened to me also and wondered why it seems to happen 'sometimes', maybe it's a setting I've messed in error, knowing me, very likely.

Thank you again as always for your very advanced and patient assistance.
