Discovered some nasty behavior in Beta 10 yesterday. I can open a bug, but thought I'd post here to try to find out how to get more debug info, as I don't think this is one that can easily be reproduced.

Basically I have a number of books where Calibre is reporting that there are no formats available. However if I open the directory for that book I can see that there are indeed several formats available that Calibre is refusing to acknowledge.

Next step was to try to re-add the book via the edit dialog. While I could add a format via that dialogue, the minute I clicked ok the main window once again reported no formats available. Restarting Calibre made no difference.

Now the really nasty bug. If I try to change the title of the book for one of these books that's in this state then all the books in that subdirectory are permanently erased. There isn't anything in the trash to recover, they're just gone....

I can reproduce all the above quite easily, but anyone else would need to have books in a similar state. What useful debug data can I get to open a bug?
