If I pull the plug, though, the device is no longer attached, and I am not able to edit the 'by device' settings any more....am I correct? Am I missing something else that I can do here?

Yeah pulling the plug means you wont be able to configure the device. If you want to configure it yu just have to wait it out at the moment.

If I were adding this enhancement (which, of course, I am not! That is all up to Kovid) I would do the following:
- Create an extra setting in the Preferences that would be something like 'Configure devices before initial reading' which would be a check box.
- If the box is not checked, Calibre works exactly as it does now.
- if the box IS checked, then, when a device is connected for the first time, Calibre would read the folder structure and then present the user with the 'Configure <device>' dialog before beginning the initial reading.

Just a thought....
