I made a plugboard:
format: device-db device: any device template: {author} - {title} for title Yet, on my Sony, I still see only {title} for title. At least for the book I just added. But, it gets weirder The books I already had on it, now have a title like this: - {title} If I remove the plugboard, and the book, all my existing books are back to normal with a title: {title} Edit: on a sony 650 |

Search is a prime example. author/s, publisher/s, tag/s for example. I haven't figured out what to do about that, but am thinking about it. Perhaps I will use the search aliases. |

That's what you get for trying something out fast... Ok, that works. But it doesn't work for the book that I'm transfering. All my books now have the {author_sort} - {title} template, except the new book... which only shows the {title} template. And I don't need it in the book, I never look at the book info anyway And when I do want it in the books (on my mobipocket readers) I do have it, thanks to your plugboard |

The device view will always show calibre's metadata. The sony menus will show altered metadata. It now works on the first send. The bug existed since the beginning of the beta. Sony metadata wasn't being updated when a book was resent. If metadata management is anything but automatic, then collections for resent books would not have been updated.

Absolutely Brilliant !
To think I almost missed this thread
THIS is brilliant, especially all the hints you ALL are describing/discussing. Makes it's possible for me to understand AND use the plugboard. My K3 loves it, once it's done indexing, I think. So far it look like the re-transmitted books go into correct Collections with the old ones, but can't say yet, until it's done indexing. My worst issue with the K3 seems to be resolved with a little work by me, but a LOT of great work by the Calibre TEAM !. Cheers P.S. This thread is fast on the way to "sticky" status ?

@speakingtohe: plugboards now work with the Sony database, as well as with the books on a Sony. To modify the sony's db, use the special format 'device_db'.
This works very nicely. For example, I use a plugboard to put 8 characters of the series plus the series index at the end of the title. This extra info helps when browsing by author or by title, or by non-series collections. The plugboard is: Code:
device_db:PRS505 = ([{title}{series:<.8s| [|}{series_index:| [|]]}] -> title) |

Plugboards + iTunes
(This is an excerpt from the 'Calibre + iTunes: Start here' thread. It's largely redundant with other posts already in this thread, but I wanted to add it here in case an iDevice user comes across this thread first.)

I can verify that the plugboard "Metadata: Show series - series Index - Title as Title (Kindle) (economix)" works for the Kobo.
And I am once again pleased as punch with Calibre. |

Of course, the way to 'fix' it is to strip the articles before it gets to the plugboard. Create a (probably hidden) composite column called #stripped_series (or some such) containing something like Code:
{series:re(^(A|The|An)\s+,)||} Code:
{#stripped_series:shorten(4,-,4)}{series_index:0>3s| [|] }{title} |
