Removing Book Entries With No Books
I have some entries in my library with no actual books, only covers and metadata. Somehow the books were deleted at some point.
I can easily get a list of the books from within the Library Management section when I check the database. However, the only choice seems to click the Fixable button, which removes the error, but doesn't delete the entries. I cannot seem to be able to delete the empty entries, other than going back into my library and deleting them one by one. Is there a way to get rid of the bad book entries without manually removing them one at a time? Thanks! I hope this makes sense. I am using the Windows version, but ran into the same problem with the Mac version. |

After you fix the errors in library maintenance, do the search
formats:false and you will get a list of all entries with no actual book files. |

Thanks, Kovid! That worked perfectly. I know the problem was caused at some point in the past, but at least I can move forward with a clean database.
