itimpi,

I have send you the 4 snapshot by mail, thank you

in /home/reup/.calibre2opds there is only 3 files and one log dir

.calibre2opds.secureFileManager.xml
profile.xml
default.profile.xml

the first two are the same,
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties>
<comment>calibre2opds 2.4</comment>
</properties>
the last one, default.profile.xml is already posted higher in this thread.

I do not repeat it here to not overfill this thread

so far, I know very little software that can erase so blindly a directory, so potentially dangerous, the famous rm -rf, and some fdisk or mkfs. all are more system commands and usually used only by root. imagine my surprise when just by creating a catalog of current files, I loose 70 000 (yes 70 000) files without any warning. I compile a lot of docs for my work, I lost more than 9gb in few second ans still no warning. I dont think any software should have this"freedom" on my homedir

again, I do not hope to retrieve the files. yes I had a backup, old one, but all the files were there, only all the work done to catalog them all in calibre is lost.

what is the point to use alias rm=rm -i if a simple catalog software can wipe it all out

I am very grateful to calibre dev team, and I believe there is no connection between calibre and calibre2opds. this was my first try of calibre2opds, looking for an easy way to share the doc with my colleagues (we are creating a catalog of SF ebooks, some empty, some with files)
