@Rbneader - I just noticed that you started this thread back in July last year, I'm not sure if the problems you raised then were resolved. Following my post of 07-27-2013, 08:36 AM the thread was quiet until your post of 02-14-2014, 08:41 PM

I'm intrigued as to what happened in the intervening 6 months - was calibre working OK or did you stop using it or... whatever.

Around October last year there was an issue regarding temporary folders being created and not being removed when deleting (moving ?) books and formats. I can't recall precise details nor whether this created actual problems or if it was just a nuisance issue. And IIRC around August there was an issue about the truncation of file names being altered that caused some consternation, again I can't recall details or the ramifications.

So I'm wondering if your current problems are a continuation of the problems you were having in July, or whether they might be related to those couple of issues that occurred in Aug & Oct. And I'm hoping people with better memories than mine can throw in there 2 cents worth.
