The
metadata_db_prefs_backup.json file is a backup of library specific preferences - its created on as an needed basis and is only used if you need to restore the database - nothing to worry about.
Have you done an uninstall, fresh download and reinstall ?
Are the messages you get in 0.9.27 & 0.9.41
exactly the same - perhaps you could post one from 0.9.41. And is the error occurring on all books or one book in particular?
Addenda
Ending up with two folders when renaming a book by changing Title or Author is usually caused by one of the following
- if a file in the old folder is read-only then it will get copied to the new folder but it cannot be deleted from old folder, so it and the old folder remain where they were
- if a file in the old folder is open in another program that's holding a lock over the file then it won't get copied to the new folder, and it will remain in the old folder. File locks are transitory they are only there whilst the other program has the file open
- if the file in the old folder has been sourced from an untrusted zone, then it will be blocked. A block is similar to a lock but its persistent, the block must be removed explicitly.
Can you confirm that the format (.epub, pdf, mobi etc) and the .opf files are in the newly created book folder and that its the cover.jpg that remains in the old book folder. And if so did you do the checks on the cover file I suggested in post #2.
File blocks usually result from having the security settings in Internet Options set too high - the default settings are adequate for most people.
