"...no available formats"
I am currently attempting to register/copy ebooks to calibre. They are a mix of the usual formats but some of the books appear as "...has no available formats", meaning that the actual book file itself is missing from its folder. I probably know how this happened but need to find all the missing books' folders.
I tried searching with format:"", format:"unknown" and "format:" but to no avail. Can this be done, please? |

If formats:false isn't returning any entries, you might need to run Library maintenance -> Check library then click Yes on the prompt to check files against database and fix the database first.
As always, make a backup of your database before you do the above. |
