I forget when that change was.
It
is possible the pathnames from sespr's second screenshot are too long and calibre chokes on them.

Also look at the implied file file associations: .OPF with ebook-viewer.exe and .EPUB, .MOBI with calibre.exe. In File Manager if I open :
- an .OPF file with ebook-viewer.exe I get a "Spine is empty" error popup,
- an .EPUB or .MOBI file with calibre.exe it will add the format to the current library according to the Preferences->Add books settings. If the .EPUB or .MOBI is in a current library book folder then it will potentially create duplicate books etc.

Accidentally clicking on those and adding them to the library might cause this confusion.

Yup -- best way forward. Whatever is the problem, this should fix it.
