Hi there,

I have installed Calibre a few weeks ago, and unleashed it on my library

The lib is organised in subdirectories, based on the author's name initial:
\A
\B
\C
etc...

I've been fiddling a bit with Calibre, doing tags updates etc... So far so good

I have also done some activity at file name level: adding/deleting a few books to/from the directories, correcting a few typos on some titles and author's names...

Now, I would like to refresh the whole stuff, while keeping the updates done in Calibre (tags etc) and the ones done at file level
I'm a bit worried about using the "Add books" functionality as I don't want duplicates by adding everything again

Question: what is the proper way to do an effective "refresh", which will take every add/update/delete into consideration, at metadata level and at file name level?

Thanks a bunch :=)
