Opening Library fails
Hello, I reinstalled Calibre on a new PC. I managed to open my old Libray, everything OK. I added a few books and closed Calibre. Today it refuses to open this Library (I'm not desperate because I've got another one (older backup) which open. But I have some more info in the newest Library.
I get that message :

ValueError: Invalid control character at: line 142 column 13 (char 2959)
I thing I can try to correct this line 142 (may be even delete it ?). But I did not find what to do.

Anybody can help ?

That error means your metadata.db has been corrupted. Zip it up and post it here, I'll fix it for you.

Forgetting to put the field in Edit Mode
AFAIK Comments can not be added in the Main GUI, you MUST be in The Metadata Editor (tap 'E' after selecting the book)
