John IV · 05-24-2023, 01:40 PM

I use cover grid view in Calibre, sorting by modified so my most recently manually modified epubs go to the top left corner.

Occasionally, for whatever reason, I'll see books that I haven't touched move up in the order towards the top. Is there any dbase background metadata culling or maintenance happening on those that I can toggle?

Again, these are books that haven't even been clicked on. Can I see a change history or something on them to see what Calibre is doing? Thanks -
