Thank you Kovid for a quick answer and for an explanation. And, of course, for Calibre itself and for a thoughtful design of the bookshelf layout handling. I did not realise that not all columns from the database are be backed-up in the metadata.opf files. I also did not realise that the recount of pages for already existing books is only triggered if a bookshelf view is initiated at least once.

Is there a way I could disable a Bookshelf layout icon in the Layout toolbar, so I do not click on it by mistake when switching between the cover grid and list view? Or, would it be possible to add a warning dialog window via some tweak that would display "Are you sure" when I click on a bookshelf icon?
