Yes, that is correct. I added a book, then went back to edit some incorrect metadata. Changed "Children of Men" to "The Children of Men" and also fixed the author from "P. D. James" to "P.D. James" and some other corrections.

I added another book just now, (I did not start without plugins) and saved it. I then went back and edited the metadata and saved again. The error did not occur. Instead I ended up with an empty folder named "data" on my desktop. But I don't know if it happened on the first or second save. I wasn't expecting it so I wasn't paying attention.

I deleted that "data" folder and went back and edited the library metadata for the new book, and all worked without any issue. There was no "data" folder recreated.

Then I added a second book and all worked as expected.

I guess I'll just keep monitoring, unless you need me to do something else?
