PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
The main viewer in calibre is showing inaccurate information in the "Formats" column. Specifically, I am seeing EPUB as format when there is no such format available for a given book. Moreover, when there are 2 or more formats for a given book, only "EPUB" shows, even when Mobi and PDF are the only 2 actual file formats in the calibre library for the book (e.g there is no EPUB version of the book).
I am running 3.26.1 calibre on a Win 10 system, and I do NOT have calibre set to do any "automatic adding"--all boxes in that tab under "control the adding of books" under "Add Books" are empty.
EXAMPLE
I use the "Add Books" button to "add books from a single directory", specifically, a PDF format book, such as this one, that i downloaded to my PC:
https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/calibre.pdf
The book itself is added to calibre correctly from the download loaction (e.g. When I view the book, the PDF viewer opens the book and the book is fine).
HOWEVER, the calibre main viewer shows the format as being EPUB--this is incorrect (I opened the path and there is only one file for the book, and that has a PDF extension). Moreover, for books where I have two formats, only one format shows in the main view, and it is EPUB for everything. I know it used to show all formats for the book and accurately--I do not know exactly when this changed.
MORE DETAILS:
In the small book details below the main viewer, the format shows as PDF(e.g. the correct format). When I click on the book to see the expanded detail screen, there are two lines called "Formats:" on the screen:
The first one appears below "Authors:" and shows the correct format (in this case, PDF), the second one appears below "Size:" shows the incorrect format (in this case, EPUB).
WHAT I TRIED
Since ALL books were showing EPUB format, even when no EPUB version existed, I thought my library might be sick, so used the library maintenance feature to restore the entire library. This changed nothing.
I was running calibre version 3.something(sorry, didn't note it), so I upgraded to the most recent version, rebooted windows, added a book per the above example. This changed nothing.
I tried converting the book to create an EPUB version to see if that would force a second format to show in the main viewer. This changed nothing, except that in the book details the "Format:" field correctly showed two formats, PDF and EPUB.
IN CASE IT HELPS:
When I convert, I generally convert to EPUB, so my default output in conversion is EPUB...I wonder if somehow the main view is somehow showing that instead of accurate data from the book? Just a thought...
MANY THANKS for any help on this.
