Yes, the Library (on my pc) got corrupted,
this is the last button I clicked before it happened. It could have been for any reason (idk, not much experience with calibre, just importing, editing metadata and exporting), but
this is the last thing I remember doing before noticing that books were missing.
It was fine when I was in the library view, then switched to the device view and clicked this button. I noticed that all the books on my eReader (in the device view) were missing that "in library" checkmark. So whatever went wrong, definitely went wrong when I was in the
device view and
not in Library view
I don't know what caused the metadata corruption for both, the books (The OPF metadata inside the books' folders) and Calibre metadata.db.
When I imported my books from the previous library (Corrupted one) to my new library, the books were missing covers, tags and custom columns (A combination of these, some had missing covers, some were missing tags, and so on).
Right now, I have rebuilt my library in calibre and cleared everything on my kobo as well (If it had anything to do with either Kobo or something in Calibre), and set up FreeFileSync for my calibre library folder to avoid this scenario (whatever be the cause).
Hopefully that does it.
