Thanks for your thoughts, Dalton. You are right about my real library not being 5.99.8. But I have indeed been doing real hands-on experiments (and not thought experiments to begin with.) So much so that here is what I found out.

1. If I use CalibrePortable5.99.8\Calibre Portable\Calibre\Calibre.exe to point to the legacy library (not on 5.99.8) then it does not retrieve ZKeys etc. That is what I had been using.

2. About 50 min ago, I used the CalibrePortable5.99.8\Calibre Portable\calibre-portable.exe to point to the same legacy library (not on 5.99.8) as used in 1. It updated ZKeys for 51 books out of 350 (I understand that paths etc. may have changed so it is unreasonable to have it work 100%).

To be clear I am using the latest update from you (that you provided today) with Calibre 5.99.8.
Any thoughts on why these two Calibres in 5.99.8 be different?
