Mary Pooh · 12-12-2012, 06:45 AM

I use Calibre with Ubuntu 12.04. With Adobe Digital Editions via WINE.

I have configured Calibre to automatically add e-books that appear in the Digital Editions folder. While the movement in to Calibre works fine, when returning to Digital Editions the books are still in the ADE library but this time with complaints that files are missing. I then have to manually delete each ghost e-book.

I know it may seem a little fussy, but it'd be nice if I could use Automatic Adding and choose to have a copy in both the Calibre library and within Digital Editions.

My request is that you make it Automatic Adding's default behaviour to leave the original in place. A delete option alongside for those who want it.

Thanks for considering my request.
