To the unicodes, so far I assumed that the lpath field does NOT include any.

But easy to fix.

Not sure which number the 500 is, but I just changed something this morning that you are back in the editor at exactly the same point where you were before you edited one field, I was annoyed of the 4 taps too...
The whole thing "hangs" in the filemanager which does not support landscape at all (so far), maybe I can do something like a long hold on a menu item to display the complete name, let me check. Basically this whole view is the same as the "history" view.

I think we will get all these problems solved, it will just take a few more releases until we have everything sorted out!
Odd, maybe some of it is device specific? I think if you just use caliber in a normal fashion it puts the metadata file in /mnt/onboard, if you select the Main device and into /mnt/sd if you select the "A drive". I guess you can have the book(s) go to a folder of your choosing (you can have templates for different devices, like the "A drive", by customizing the device interface plugins) otherwise a general template is used. It appears that the metadata file is not in the same folder as the books, that the books are in a subfolder from the one that the metadata is in. Moving it around would be a bad idea as calibre says that it maintains the file, on every connection. It should be where caliber expects it. The books need to be where the metadata file for that device ( the Main storage is one device and the "A Drive" is another device ) thinks they are.

I have calibre Metadata files at both /mnt/onboard and at /mnt/sd. I direct your search to the /mnt/sd one, and it works fine. I could point it to the other one but I only have one book (for testing) there.

Luck;
Ken
