Empty collections
I occasionally get an empty collection on the kobo
I think this happens when i delete from calibre all the books in the collection The only way i found to fix it is manually by deleting tje database record Also, if the collection has a pane, i have to manually delete its record in a table called from memory activity (whence panes are generated) Am i missing a better way? Thanks |

An empty collection is a perfectly valid thing on the device. And you can delete it through the interface. Find it in the Collections list, long press on the collection and select delete option from the menu. This will also delete the tile from the home screen.
If you are doing the collection management from calibre, you need to select the option to delete empty collections in the configuration. Otherwise, calibre will leave them there. And when calibre deletes the collection, it also deletes the row from the Activity table to remove the tile from the home screen. And if a tile on the home screen ever gets disconnected from what it is supposed to show, long press on the tile and select "Dismiss tile" to remove it. |

A long press works on just about any item listed in the UI.

This is kind of an off topic question, but what advantage do collections give? I've seen several links on how to set them up but I'm unclear on what it's supposed to be doing

Purely for my curiosity, have decided that there is an advantage in using them?
