Books with no Formats

Hi there,

Just got a PRS-505 and am enjoying fiddling with it at the moment. Calibre is a great utility. Thanks.

My current setup is having my Calibre folder sync between multiple machines using rsync (1 linux laptop, 1 server, 1 XP machine). There are various reasons for this, but partly for backups. However, it seems to have exposed a problem that I am not sure how to get around.

During one of my syncs, it appears that some files went missing. I think it might have something to do with ntfs, ext3 filename things. However, I am now left with an interesting problem. I have some books with no formats at all. Not really a problem as I have all the original books stored in a different folder. Problem is finding the ones with no format.

I have tried something like this in the metasearch:
> no (formatdf or format:lit or ... etc.)

it returns nothing.

> format:none

also nothing. Any tricks to finding these entries with no books assigned?

Thanks
Tal
