But yes... I do see all the MBP files when I point calibre's "Add" dialog directly to Kindle for PC's library folder or the documents folder of my actual device. That's where MBP files are supposed to be (although nothing "terrible" will happen if you delete them). But just because I see them in calibre's "Add" dialog doesn't mean I have to actually select them to import. I ignore them. Because I know they're not ebooks.
Or if it troubles you that greatly, just change the file-type dropdown (bottom right-hand corner of the "Add" dialog) to something a little more discriminating than "Books" or "All files". Then you won't see them.  |
Thanks Diap ...... but being Mr. TechDunce, could I bore you by going through your post by para's with my probably dumb questions?
1) Yes, I suppose I could ignore them, but it means I have double the files to check every time to see if I haven't added before, so I'd rather not have 'em at all !
(And anyway, why on earth do I suddenly have them ? I never used to have MPB duplicate files on everything I got from Kindle. I simply don't know why I'm getting them now ....)
Quite apart from the fact that thanks to Amazon helping me through re-installing a new K4PC, all my list for some reason have different dates, which is very confusing to me of little brain .......
2) Ummm ... well, I did go through the list and deleted all the 1KB , or sometimes 0KB files that were with the "normal" ones .... and something mildly "terrible"
has happened !
By doing so, I've somehow deleted my whole Calibre library !
The books are still on my K4PC, in the original EBOKs .... but all are now AZW so I dont think I'll be able to add them all, one by one, to Calibre again.
What
is going on ?
3) And, sorry Diap, be gentle with me, how do I change the dropdown - which I can't find on the bottom rt of my "Add" list , do you mean "Files of Type" ? And what do I do to say no, I dont want these blooming MPB files thank you .....
Finally, I installed Mr. Alf's latest tools, and latest Calibre - is it possible that the new tools may have kicked this all off ? Bloody 'eck, I do hope not.
Oh lawks amercy ......
