>import as normal: folder contains single title

is that some special Import option, or do you mean just import by hand each book, re-attach the cover, find Metadata, etc.?

sorry, explain please how this happens? I do keep the Calibre database on a Dropbox folder, but I do NOT access it simultaneously from more than one location.

> 2)someone dropped the folder into the Library. Calibre generated folders have a distinct pattern: Author/title (ID)/<formats and covers.

nope, no one is messing with the folder other than through the Calibre interface.

> 3) You dual boot accessed the library (Win/Linux)

nope, only Apple OS (desktop or laptop).

4) You ran Calibre with a Cloud sync active[/QUOTE]

what is that? I searched, and only found mention of something called Calibre Cloud Pro which is supposed to make Calibre work with Dropbox, but how's this different than just keeping the database on a Dropbox folder? Does it maybe allow simultaneous access from multiple locations (which I don't need)?
