Related to the original query (libraries being lost) I just noticed a similar issue in 0.9.27.
I don't actually know if it is new or old, as I only just tried this particular sequence:
TO REPRODUCE:- Setup the default library "Calibre Library"
- Setup a secondary "Other Library"
- Exit Calibre (I am using Calibre Portable, but I don't believe it matters)
- Enter Calibre
Observe which library comes up by default and decide to look at the other.
- Use "Quick Switch" to change libraries.
Both libraries are listed: "Calibre Library" and "Other Library".
Realize my brain fart, I really did want the one it started with.
- Use "Quick Switch" to ...
... Hmm. ....
... Now that's a PROBLEM!
Both libraries are listed: "Calibre Library" and "Calibre Library".
Both libraries have the same name!
Both are named "Calibre Library".
WORKAROUND:- a. Pick one of them at random.
Observe that the names likely both appear properly now.
It depends on whether you picked the one you were or weren't already using.
Pick the one you really wanted.
- b. Exit Calibre and re-enter
Observe that the names likely both appear properly now.
Pick the one you really wanted.
Not a major issue. But it was surprising.
I only noticed it because I instantly changed my mind and wanted to go back to the first library. Usually I work for awhile in the chosen library, then exit for the day. So I never
saw it happen before.
