I'm not sure if this is a Calibre or a Calibre Companion request, but I would like to see the ability to sync entire book by Series, such that when I reconnect via Wireless connection, any new books added to a given Series that is being synced to my iPad will automatically be downloaded to my iPad. Currently, I still have to go into the desktop client and tell it to download each book, although I can batch select them.

Note that the same technique will work for any category: authors, tags, publishers, custom columns, what-have-you. Just add the desired category item to the user category defined above. |

I'm stuck on step #4. When I create the search code, is series supposed to be replaced by the series name, and is the name supposed to be in quotes? For example I have a series called
The Transformers So, should the code look like @The Transformers on device:true and ondevice:false or @"The Transformers" on device:true and ondevice:false Also, is "device" supposed to be replaced with the specific device name or does it already understand which device this is after successfully completing step #3? Finally, if I want to sync multiple different series in this way, and still want each series to show up as a separate series in Calibre Companion, do I need to create a new list for each series, or can I get multiple different series in one list?

You can see the correct syntax for the search by clicking on the user category name in the calibre tag browser. It will show you how to enter the search. There are some screen shots of my test setup attached. Quote:
