.term_PMRA_weight files

i used the library maintenance > check library feature for the first time and it found extra files in some of my folders with the extension ".term_PMRA_weight" they are several hundred KB in size and i couldn't figure out what they were for. they are not in all folders just some of them.

they are NOT calibre controlled files.
I suspect one of your reading apps is creating them.

Mobipocket reader does the same kind of thing on me when I use that viewer, it throws a copy and .MBP into the root (the metadata.db folder) of the Library

the only other "reading app" i have is itunes, and i always use "send to device" and itunes copies the epub/pdf over. so its ok if i delete the 22mb's of 147 files w/o problems to calibre?

is this on a MAC? I ask, because I don't have one and MAC's do things differently

I would not want to cause an issue on your system.
All I can say, I have never seen those on my Win or Linux systems.
