Question Your Suggestions Are Going Right Over My Head!

Hello, All:

I know I sound like a complete nube but I rarely change anything - I simply use the program to organize my library. I do have a number of plug-ins but I've changed nothing for quite some time. I also have a number of tweaks but, again, nothing I have changed in years.

I know about templates but I've never (to my knowledge) created one.

As for Author Mapping Rules, I can find, in the 'Adding Books' preferences, the author mapping rule that's there, under 'Rules to Manipulate Author Names' but I don't know if what's there is a rule or an example {Change the author name, if it matches regex expression (.*),(.*) to the name \2\1} but I didn't put that there so, unless it's been changed recently, I don't think it applies. [My understanding of what the regex (even in university, regex expressions were not my strong point!) says is 'if name,name' change it to whatever \2\1 means but that's not the kind of construction I've been seeing.]

So, I guess what I'm saying is, I don't think I've done anything that resembles what the two of you have suggested could be the problem. But, believe me, I appreciate the fact that you are willing to try and help me and if I'm wrong, please direct me to the area where I should look.

Kind regards,

Sparky
