Hi,

this morning, when I was going to switch to a library, calibre has told me that it was corrupted, and asked me if I wanted to recover it. After recovering it, I got the message that calibre couldn't recover it because another process was accessing to the file.

After checking at the forum, I switched off the antivirus and I tried it again. The same problem. Strangely, when I tried to remove metadata.db, I couldn't because "calibre had blocked the file". I switched on the antivirus again.

I closed calibre, copied the library directory, started calibre and tried again (although this time I copied an intermediate metadata.db prior to the error message). I tried to switch to the copy and same problem. I copied the intermediate metadata to the copy and this time the switch was OK (although not all the books were included).

Inside this library I tried the recover command and it worked this time.

I don't know which was the problem at the switch that doesn't exist being into the library, but well, perhaps this can help to somebody.
