@Kovid -

I've been meaning to ask you this; are there limitations or concerns about using Calibre with a case-sensitive file system? I ran into a self-inflicted problem where my own library appeared to have become corrupted. What I eventually figured out is that I had multiple copies of each book to be stored with variations in the case of their folder names.

Now, this was not Calibre's fault - I was running on a Mac (case-insensitive) but storing on iDisk (which turns out to be case-sensitive) and, worse, accessing that library from a Windows copy of Calibre as well.

No idea how it happened, if it was because I was mixing operating systems or because of the network drive, it just caught me off guard. I keep independent copies of all my stuff anyway, so I took the opportunity to start from scratch - on a local HD.
