Books dissapearing from library
Hi,
Im a new user of calibre and it's mostly working just as I'd like. One thing though, I had updated a lot of metadata on my library and to ensure all changes were reflected on my reader (PRS 600) I deleted the files on the device. I then resent all the books. To my annoyance I noted that a lot of books had gone from my library too. When I looked on my HDD, the folder was entact and had the cover in but the book was in the recycle bin. So I had to readd the books and then delete the duplicates. Any idea why this happened? A final thing, I have 3/4 books which work perfectly fine on my PC, but when transferred to my reader have a blank cover, and when opened give a page error message. I have deleted and reconverted but the issue persists. Thanks |

Thanks, so if I had that option checked and just cleaned up the author's name in my library, this would then merge those changes with the file on my device?

In your case, you indicated that you ended up with duplicates when you added files to Calibre. Turning on the autosorting option would have prevented that. Last edited by Starson17; 08-16-2010 at 03:05 PM. |

To my knowledge, Calibre does not use the Recycle bin. So? Do you look at your Calibre Library with some other reader software? |

a file ending up in the recycle bin means at some point you deleted it from calibre. This can happen if you used the send to device and then delete from library action (or set that action as default). Click the arrow next to the send to device button to check.

When I delete an entire record, the entire Calibre library folder is moved to the Recycle Bin (Windows). When I edit metadata and delete a single format, that single format is moved to the Recycle Bin. I vaguely recalled that there was an option to set Calibre to do this (or not), but I couldn't find it with a quick look. I've never tried the delete upon send option.
