I had a problem after the latest update, 6.20, where I had a conversion going for a single book from azw3 to epub, and while that was taking place I was in the metadata editor window for a different book (I can't remember if it was the same author). In the metadata editor I was changing the book's title getting rid of the extra crud that Amazon puts there. When I went to save it I got an error (which of course I didn't copy). Going into the book's folder using the O key it was empty. Going up a level into the author's folder there were two folders for the book, the old name and the new name, but both were empty. This happened several times. Later on I was only changing book titles and adding series info and it never happened so it seems like there's some interaction?
