I didn't remember much about how "Auto populated from books on device" lists work, I had to go read the RL code for a bit.

SmartEject's current paradigm is to check for the count of books on lists needing to be sync'ed and if >0 then offer to call RL's "Sync Now" instead of continuing to eject.

RL's "Sync Now" option can be called to update 'auto pop' lists. And RL can tell me if there are any 'auto pop' lists. But that includes any 'auto pop from search' lists, too.

Unlike an 'Add/Overwrite to device' list, there isn't a book count to indicate whether the 'auto pop' list(s) need to be updated.

So I could add an option to look for "Is any 'auto pop' list sync-able?" and call "sync now" But any 'auto pop from search' lists would also trigger it.

All the other pre-eject checks ask the user whether to stop to address the issue or continue to eject. This would either need to not ask or reverse the yes/no to be 'yes, continue to eject' instead of 'no, continue to eject'.

Is this a one user issue? Or something that other users would also find valuable?

Looking at my use case, I would find little to no value in the suggested change.

Your one up on me. I'd find no value at all.

My use case as posted earlier handles this situation perfectly for me.
