Send only updated files to reader
Sony PRS-505
I'm sure this question has been answered, but several searches have not turned it up. I have made changes to the metadata in several books in the library (without the reader attached). These are already in the reader but not with the new metadata. When I plug in the reader, all books are still tagged as "On Device", even the ones I changed. Is there a way to have Calibre track the books that have been changed in the library and resend just those books to the device? Thanks. |

No, there is no automatic way. There are various schemes in use, ranging from putting a 'todo' tag on books when you change them to maintaining a date custom column. Another scheme is to simply resend the books that might have changed. Other people will probably chime in with their favorite methods.
We have considered adding a field that would contain the time the metadata was last changed. Unfortunately, there are complexities, so it hasn't been done yet. |

Well of course.
I change the date field to "today" if I make a change and will want to resend the book. This means that all changed books are listed ABOVE ie later than the catalog which is always the very last thing I generate before sending files to my PRS-505. I only send them every few weeks so it helps me to remember. |
