I have Calibre watch a directory for books magically appears. I made a small python script to check for directories without any number in, i.e. a book title that isn't imported in Calibre.

A lot of diretctories!

Thsi is something that started sometime in April.

Anyone else has seen this?

Calibre 4.2 running on Ubuntu 18.04
-------------
This morning for example, three books had appeared in the watch directory...

These three were imported into Calibre, but when I when the authors directory there are:
BookTitle
BookTitle(NNNNN)

for each of the three books.

In the first directory (without the numbers) there are three files:
BookTitle - Author.epub
BookTitle - Author.jpg
BookTitle - Author.opt

In the directory with the numbers there are three files:
cover.jpg
metadata.opf
BookTitle - Author.epub

The book imported in Calibre is linked to the directory with the numbers.
