Last night, power outage at almost exact moment I plugged Kobo into PC.

When I plugged in today, got a "there's a problem with this drive..." message. When disconnect, all sideloaded books re-imported.

I plugged in again, restored dates via Kobo Utilities, unplugged and everything imported again. Then I tried restoring to my last good backup but restoring the sideloaded book dates were still wrong and updating metadata with Kobo Utilities not fixed.

I finally logged out and logged in. I put back my events table and imported dates everything's good now.

Any idea? I find it strange that the backups were weird too, maybe another file affected it.
