Under title search "Vault..." Calibre only had this ebook as a pdf.
Being the nitpicker that I am, I tried to find the txt version of the book in the library.
The Authors were obviously the same person so I looked under "Alfred", "Elton", "van" and "Vogt" and I couldn't find the txt version of the book in the library.
On it's own this isn't a big deal but I also have 5 or 6 books I cannot find because the names are beyond the 256 characters limit.
One of the books has a 468 character file name.
I am fairly certain this library has been maintained before in Calibre and it created these books (maybe under Linux????)
I was given this library so don't know how these books came into being.
Should I just delete these folders/directories and let Calibre fix itself?
I am curious where these books have gone or are indexed?  |
Calibre Linux to Windows will open up a big drum (can is too small
) of worms.
'vault' vs 'Vault' vs
having both at the same time (which windows will not detect).
I have been there via dual boot. My best suggestion: just don't
Going from Win to Linux introduces case problems if the book has been renamed (fixed case displayed)
I had though Kovid enforced file path limits just so this
part of the issues did not happen
