that means book and opf did not match
perhaps because of the slight difference in the book name
that also means opf has some sort of link to the book title
moving opf or other way around break that link I suppose
Sorry, but I don't know what you are telling me.

If there is an OPF in the folder along with a book file, and if you choose (as I suggested) the "One book for folder" option, then the metadata in the OPF wins. If the metadata is incorrect then it is incorrect. There is no magic way of fixing it.

The calibre user manual describes what this add book function does.

Example: I copied a folder out of my production library and put it on my desktop. It contains a (correct) metadata.opf, a cover, and 2 format files. I renamed the formats aa.epub and aa.mobi. I then opened my test library and did an Add books One book per directory, aiming it at that folder. The book was added to my library perfectly, with the correct cover and the correct metadata.

You must use the "One book per directory" option for this to work.
