I'm using Library maintenance -> check library (on an Apple 10.6.8 system) and seeing a bunch of errors:

1) Is there a way to have it open the Finder window showing me which file it's complaining about? for example, under Invalid Titles, it says "Stephen King/.DS_Store" - how do I figure out where this invalid title is so I can fix it? Same under Extra Titles - any easy way to find each one it's complaining about so I can add the file to the library?

2) How did this happen - when I add books one by one, it adds them to the Calibre library; how is it possible that they are in the library folder but not in the database?

3) What's the best way to fix this - for subfolders of books that exist in the library folder (with ebook, covers, etc.) but not in the database, how to add them to the database most easily - any way to import them without having to re-add everything by hand?
