MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Incorrect Covers when transferring library

suecsi · 04-22-2010, 08:09 AM

I had some problems with Windows Vista user profiles, so had to create a new one for myself.

I started up Calibre and it ran through the welcome screen as it does with a new user, and I pointed it to the location of my ebooks under the new profile.

All the books then showed up in the library ok.

However, when scrolling down the covers were not always the correct ones, though there seemed no pattern to it.

If you viewed the file, it was fine, and what it said it was in the Calibre listing. It was just the covers that were mixed up.

If you go into the metadata and download a new cover, it dropped it in there, and previewed ok. But then if you took focus away from that book and moved down to another, then back up to it, the old (incorrect) cover showed up again!

Any ideas what caused this and how to fix it?
