There are still a bunch of JPG files, one in each folder with the OPF files.

For now, I am just using the list generated with 'formats:false' to see what MAY BE missing. It turns out that I had a lot of duplicates and many of the books that show up in that report are still in the library....a good thing in this case, a bad thing if my goal is to get rid of redundancies.

Something that I am finding out even more pointedly after this mess is that I use about 10% of the features and functions that Calibre has available.

This program is that f&%$ing good
Other way to really mess things up: Use a cloud sync while RUNNING Calibre. Restoring metadata.db from a different backup BUNDLE. (metadata.db is paired to the current set of file/folders at that time ONLY)

10%, I think you are using more than I do (I have no clue on % I use. It is low I have about 20 PI installed: I use about 5 frequently)
