SmartEject with the modification for running Sync Now before ejecting also works and lets you do it with one click (or keyboard shortcut).

This Action Chains solution has one advantage over using Smart Eject: the tag/column is set immediately when a book is sent, not when the device is ejected. This could matter if you do any processing after sending to the device but before ejecting the device.

It is also faster because nothing happens when the device is ejected vs Smart Eject's searches and RL's sync, but I don't know if this is significant.

Otherwise, you have to plug/unplug or run a NickelMenu function or action chains as suggested above.

But you have to plug/unplug to add the missing metadata so there's no need to sync when ejecting as the sync will run when you connect the second time.

I don't want to have to re-connect whenever I add books. Between the modified SmartEject (or an action chain with send to device and single edit) and NickelSeries I get all I really want on one connect.

How do you get the missing metadata on only one connect? You don't get the blurb. You don't get page numbers. You don't get reading time. You don't get subtitles.

And why are you asuming that he needs it?

Good question.

FWIW, I have no interest in a blurb, especially on device. I've turned off adobe page numbers but do get the number of kepub screens. The device appears to provide reading time, both when pressing the bar chart icon you can get at top of page and when sleeping. I'm not sure what subtitles means for a book, but NickelSeries parses subtitle metadata.
