Hi, not sure if you have you fixed this yet, but having just downloaded 0.8.45 I thought I'd run some tests again.

I had previously imported the 359 books.
Library contains 4760 books
Date:23/03/2012 shows 359 of all.
Check Library finds no errors or missing books.

I manually delete the 359 books from my hard drive outside of Calibre and run Calibre.
Library contains 4760 books
Date:23/03/2012 shows 359 of all.
Check Library finds no SQL errors but does say there is loads of books and covers missing, I select the fixable check boxes and tell Calibre to run the fixes.

The library still contains 4760 books, Date:23/03/2012 still shows 359 of all, Check Library reports no errors or missing books.

However, if I try and open any of the books imported on the 23/03/2012 I get a book not found error.

So, even though Calibre seemed to find the error and fix it, in reality nothing has changed. The only way to correct this problem is to use Date:23/03/2012, select all the 359 books and delete them from within Calibre.

This is not causing me any problem but is something that I thought worth testing again.

Let me know if I can help further.

Regards
