Calibre 1.5 x64

Try to rename a book or change author and I get file locked message. Nothing else is running - check windows processes. Restart calibre to no avail.

I'm getting this A LOT since upgrading to 1.5

I can open explorer, and rename the affected folder and back again, to no avail. Calibre still reckons the file is locked.

I've just opened one of the affected folders on disk and there are duplicate copies of the book - the existing copies had shortened names, but the new ones are the Title field from Calibre.
I run Check Library - wow - lots of duplicate books listed under the "Extra Book Formats" section.
I delete them and I get an error message saying that calibre_recycle has failed.
The books are deleted nontheless.

Now I'm finally able to rename the book within calibre.

Unsure of the precise steps necessary to recreate this though.

Some other odd behaviour which may be related.
calibre_recycle crashes a lot!
On the disk where MyLibrary exists, I have started getting "MyLibrary deleted xhg2e" folders appearing, where the last part of the name is a random 5 character string.


Key question - can I regress - i.e. go back to an earlier version of calibre x64 without corrupting my library?
