I tried all solutions. The only that worked was:
"... try deleting the folder you chose for your ebooks and restarting calibre."

So, I renamed the folder for backup purposes (I gather this is only location where actual files are saved) abd restarted Calibre. Bingo, it works however, when I add books, all previously stored data (covers, isbns, tag ets are lost). When trying to rename the metadata.db file and using the old file calibre crashes.

Any way of retrieving the original metadata?

UPDATE:

I have uninstalled version 112, renamed metadata.db back to initial file, installed version 109 and now have all metadata in place and it works fine. I have been using Calibre since version calibre-0.4.99 and only experienced problems with version 112.

Is this a version 112 specific problem?
