Hi there,

I started using Calibre to keep track of my dozens of scanned books. I use a text-recognition-software to be able to convert the pdfs in other formats. But that text-recognition-software ist not always that good, so I want to keep the original scan in my Calibre Library as well. So I just dropped the original file in the folder, Calibre created under /calibre library/.

When I change the Author Name or the title, Calibre creates a new folder and moves the file there ... but only the one file I imported earlier to Calibre. The original scan I dropped in the folder is deleted ... along with the folder.

Is there any way, I can keep the original scans in my Calibre Library and prevent Calibre from deleting them ... ?
