Calibre did not move the book to folder /calibre/Belen Marshall. Still in folder /calibre/Unknown. Shouldn't book move or file folder structure change when metadata changes? If no, how can I recalculate library so files are in correct folders? Or, how to get Calibre to recognize that author is not Unknown?

Thank you for help. Did try searching and browsing forum but most searches yielded persons trying to get Calibre to display folders with author surname first.

You probably have a DUPLICATE. This one is shown as (Author) Unknown

if that is NOT the case, run Library Maintenance and fix errors
