Another popular ebook reader app, MapleRead (used to be called BookMaster), used to have a similar problem. It was fixed almost exactly one year ago in v1.2. See

For me, getting the bug fix from the app developer is a much better solution than hacking my calibre library reluctantly. |
I used the term "hacking" there loosely and playfully. Basically I don't want to do the extra work with Calibre in order to workaround that problem.

That is neither a Marvin bug - regardless of any other software you think may behave differently - nor is it a Calibre problem. ...

You seem to underestimate other's understanding of how Calibre works. But there is no harm in repeating the non-obvious to most users in this forum sometimes. As for the original issue itself, of course, that is not a calibre bug as I stated in the second sentence of my original message. However, that is indeed a bug (or missing feature if you want to put it more lightly) of Marvin, or similar type of software.
