I've had a problem with 0.6.45 (WinXP) frequently crashing near the end of uploads to my PRS-505. The files are transferred -- I can see them, and open them, in Windows -- but they can't be seen either in Calibre or in the PRS. Unless I know exactly which books they are (difficult, with a big batch) the only solution seems to be to clear the whole memory or SD card, then re-upload every book ... which, 4 times out of 5, will crash somewhere during the process, usually near the end, requiring doing it over again, repeatedly.

I may just be blind, or not have RTFM'd enough (or just need more sleep), but is there some option I haven't spotted that will force the files that have already been transferred to be properly indexed and become visible after such a crash?
