Glad to see you have it sorted out.

All of your metadata changes that you enter into calibre are stored in the metadata.db file until, from the calibre GUI, a book is exported, converted, polished or a plugin like modify epub is used to alter the status quo. This is handled this way to speed things up.

If you drag and drop you are using the OS file manager to export a book from the calibre database. If you had previously converted the book the internal metadata and cover may be updated but otherwise you are circumventing calibre's ability to update the book's metadata.
