Hi,
first of all, I've tried to search for this issue but hasn't found any answer.
When I added a book today I saw that according to Calibre this book was the first book by the author.
When I checked the disc I found (as I expected) that I had several other titles there. I can see that they were imported by Calibre before since the directory structure/naming is correct but the books are missing in Calibre.
Is there a way (using library maintenance maybe) to automatically add all these missing books books? (without copying them again to the same name but the Calibre number)
I suspect that I might have restored a library database from a backup sometime when there were books added after the backup.
The only other way I can see to solve is:
- Import the whole file structure where Calibre is stored today
- Do not import any duplicates
- For each new book imported, check the author directory to see if the books already exists with different numbers
- Remove the book with the lower number
The problem is that there are quite a lot of books missing...
