Anyway it's OK now.
Glad to hear that it is working OK now.

May I ask you another question now about the catalog? I used to be able to generate my catalog with 5 of my tags at an additional level, then it started crashing. I am now only able to have 2 tags at an additional level without crashing. Is this to do with the size of my library which now stands at just over 9000 books? or is there something I can do to enable cataloging more tags to a higher level?
There was a bug that could cause a crash when generating additional levels for a tag. This was fixed recently and the fix is in the latest build.

The number of files in the catalog grows quite fast if you have too many tags used to generate an additional level. However other than that there should not be any limits that I know of. If you do encounter one then I would be grateful if you could provide the metadata.db file that causes you the problem, and settings you were using at the time so I can investigate further.

I personally tend to use the "Custom Catalog" feature for creating additional levels (instead of hidden ones under specific tags) as that makes them visible at the top level of the catalog. As well as the additional visibility this allows me to provide the additional levels using combinations of tags which can be more efficient in terms of the number of files in the catalog. It also allows me to give custom names to these additional levels which can be more meaningful than the tag names.
