See this is where you get things wrong my friend. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into the project. You think someone pointing out a problem means they don't. It is the opposite, if we didn't care, we would not waste time making suggestions. You just need to learn to take a suggestion and not act like someone is insulting your intelligence.

As I said, at the least, your message should say from the hard drive. Someone said that because it says "all file" and because "all files are kept on the hard drive" that it should be assumed hard drive is meant. That logic is flawed because all these files are supposed to be kept in Calibre's DB as well or at least a list of their names in some form of DB or config file etc.

If you want to complain about it being free, then charge for the software. I think it is nearly worth money if I would not have to fear data loss because of ambiguous dialog windows. I said from the beginning that overall we are quite impressed with your software. There is this one issue and you just can't handle it. So again, thanks for your time, and your replies even if they were not as friendly and conversational as I had hoped we could be. But I understand you are not willing to listen anymore.
