Adding custom column on Calibre, CC "auto updates"?

[crane3]

If I add a custom column on Calibre, will CC update on connect?

I'm thinking of using the Calibre genre hierarchy for 2 levels as a "collection designation"; haven't decided if useful for me yet. I've already changed the tags to resemble a "collection" as the book tags seem to have everything under the sun & mostly not useful for me like SF&F is fiction & doesn't need the fiction tag, etc.

As the columns appear to reflect the meta-data, wouldn't it be an auto-update when connected?

Assuming you are talking about the wireless device connection, the answer is yes. Calibre metadata is automatically updated for books on the device. You can also optionally update the book files themselves, something that is useful of you are using calibre's editor to modify the files.

There can be some issues if you use multiple libraries and the same book is in more than one of them. The metadata will reflect what is in the last library you connected to.
