There's no pressing need, IMO, for custom columns to be usable for collections. The same effect can be produced by either enclosing all the tags you don't want to create collections from (workflow tags, for instance) in [square brackets] or, if you want to use a custom column, do as I do and move the workflow tags into that custom column, leaving in the standard tags only those tags you want to create collections from. I have a column named "workflow" -- slightly inaccurately named, actually, because it also includes tags for internal/card destination, DNU for books that shouldn't be uploaded (mostly PDFs that give my 505 fits), etc. Everything in my normal tags column is genre, etc., to create collections.

My tags are basic genre or series too and were created with an eye toward collections. However, many people enjoy the wide variety of tags they get from downloading metadata and would love a separate way to identify the creation of collections or directories. I can see custom columns being a big asset for many users. |

Fortunately, custom fields as collections is on my to-do list (and is mostly done), so I will get what I want. ![]() |

BTW, that tag actually appears as follows in the tag list: "1154-1399, Plantaganets" Note the comma. If I click it in the tag browser, I get no books. The search bar shows: tags:"=1154-1399, Plantagenets"
Again, note the comma. To find it, I have to search for the tag "Plantagenets" |

![]() I assume this will also translate over to save to disk template too? The ability to create directories from these custom columns will provide a great deal of flexibility for many devices that don't do collections. |

I was referred to this thread from my post here. I had the same thing happen to me as to June.
I have read this thread and I am still unclear: Does this mean that I have to delete all my books and then reupload them in order to get rid of the collections on my Sony Reader that have been created from tags I deleted? |

But since you are here it seems you want or do create collections manually after the books are sent to the reader. If you don't want calibre creating any automatic collections you have to go to Preferences - Plugins - Device Interface plugin - select your plugin and click customize. Then clear the area that says tags and series will create collections when a book is sent to your device. Click OK. (Just to be safe restart calibre) Now, with your device empty select the books and send them to your device. There will be no collections created during the transfer. While reading this thread I'm sure you have come to realize that most of us use calibre to create our collections automatically on send to device, but we all have ways we like to do things. |

However, if I can now get proper author sorting going in 0.7.4, then I have incentive to do it anyway. Quote:

Excellent point, make sure it is checked in the plugin and that the changes to the plugin have taken effect. I'm going to check the box, restart calibre, wipe the books from my 505 and put them back on the device just to marvel at something I'll probably never use. It will be nice to have the authors sorted via last name.
