Rename a Title or author, then realize you had a typo , and correct.
If the (library) files are in a buffer(cache), waiting to be written, the next changes could be made with no files being previously done.
It sounds like my practice of pausing Dropbox during the day and only syncing when I'm not using Calibre is probably why this process has been running smoothly for me for years now. That and only accessing my libraries from one device.
