Sure, that will work and what it's there for. However, this will cause  
ALL devices for a particular user to be multiplexed. If you have  
multiple clients connected to the same account where some support  
multiple collections, while others do not (and are not detected by our  
code), you will need the hook.

> Thank you for the hook!

No problem, but it doesn't do anything with the pref box unchecked.

> Do I need to place it in a .local.php file?

No, not for hooks. Those use a *.php.dist/*.php pattern.
