I needed to copy existing files over, from PC to Libra, in order to update the Series tag. If this is normal behavior, no problem.
The driver will do collection management for books on the device that are matched to books in the library. It doesn't touch anything that isn't recognised. The device list has a way to edit the collections, but, these are not actually written to the device. It is something that I should revisit, as it used to annoy me that it didn't work. But, I make sure I have all my books in the calibre library, so it wouldn't be something I'd ever actually use.

And yes, I maintain the KoboTouch driver in calibre and the Kobo Utilities plugin and several others are mine. Plus I maintain a few others from an author who is no longer around. That's purely self-interest as they are plugins that I use all the time.
