When you wrote "books" above, can I substitute "formats?" Sorry to be pedantic, I just want to be sure I understand. I use "book" to mean a record that appears on one line in the GUI. I use "format" to mean an EPUB, PDF, etc. file stored within a book/record.

All of the metadata, ratings, tags, and collections moved for those records. When I looked where the library used to be, I can see the missing files.

This statement is why I think you meant you lost formats, not books. If you lost an entire record, you would have lost the metadata with it. Did I understand that correctly?

The library is internally consistent and the books were correct before the move. I only add a few books at a time and make certain they're correct before adding more.
|
And if I understand this, you lost formats, and the destination library (after move) had no indication that you ever had those formats. Correct? And as far as you could remember, the Library (before the move) had those formats? And after the move they were left in the original Library location?

That library also shows all of the records, metadata, etc., but is missing most of the books and covers.

To be certain I understand - you mean "That library also shows all of the book records, metadata, etc., but is missing most of the formats and covers within the book records." Correct?
Hmmmm. If I understood it, I'm having trouble thinking of a way that this could occur. I suppose we chalk it up to a fluke and wait to see if it happens again to anyone. Thanks for the info.
