About Shelves: No I use Smart Shelves but I'm aware of Calibre problems with them, so I disabled all the shelves options in Kobo touch Extended driver a long time ago.

Which is what I thought. But, I suspect that a copy of the smart shelves was synced to the server. And that is why you got the duplicate. My thought was that when you first started using smart shelves that you connected to calibre once with shelf management still setup and then synced to Kobo. That would explain what happened.

Also I use Smart Shelves from months, and the duplicates appeared only recently, so calibre is not involved in the issue, I was only asking davidfor for a tool to manually managing shelves entry in the DB. I solved editing the DB in a SQLite editor. It was easier than expected

About the error message, I'm not sure this is realted to tne new firmware, new Calibre, new plug-in version or something else, I posted the error message hoping it was useful, because I'm not capable of understanding it.
@Davidfor: I tryed debug mode and here it is the result:

I can see several things in this log. I'll trim it and make the comments.

You have old versions of the plugins from Apprentice Alf. They should be removed or replace. This won't cause any problem other than they won't work.

I think this, and the traceback, above is the real problem. The error says the book doesn't have an author, but I think the issue is that the "lpath" is empty. The lpath should be the path and file name on the device of the file. It shouldn't be empty as this comes from the database on the device and is the key used there and to find the file when reading. I can't think of how that could happen.

Anyway I noticed something related to this issue:
1) I have KoboTools on the contextual menu, but when I select it from there no submenu appears.
2) I Have also KoboTools in the menu bar, also from there I noticed strange behaviours, when I am in the Calibre Main library (Kobo connected of course) all the entries in KoboTools menu are greyed.
If I move to the reader's memory all the entries in KoboTools menu activates, after that they remain active also if I return to the Calibre Library.
3) the "AttributeError: 'KTCollectionsBookList' object has no attribute 'id'" happens only if I select books in the main kobo memory, and then try to use kobo tool

I hope what I wrote is clear enough, my english is far away from beeing perfect

Anyway I'm starting to think to a rude solution, totally deleting Calibre and it's preferences, then reistalling it and plugins from scratch, the only problem is I use Calibre from Years, I dont'know if I'm capable of comfiguring it again in all it's parts

The rest of this is explainable by the earlier error. Or at least it needs to be fixed before looking at these problems.

I don't understand how this could happen. Can I get a copy of the database? Hopefully I can work it out from that. The best way to do this is to put it somewhere I can download it and PM me the link. Or PM me for an email address to send it to.

Edit:

Another way to get the information is to put something in the "Title to test when debugging" field of the driver configuration. If you enter the first part of the title of the book, and run in debug mode, a lot of extra information is written. That should tell me a lot about what is happening. From your log, using "Tvtti" should be enough.
