Question Some books marked with a star
Suddenly, a few of the books in my library have a star to the left of the line number. I can't figure out why this happened and how to remove them.

See http://calibre-ebook.com/whats-new - Temporary Marking of Books

If the stars are there whenever you start calibre then they are probably books that you previously nominated as being members of an 'exclusion group' in the Find Duplicates PI .

AFAIK there's no remedy available other than what I suggest in post 14 of this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=224527.

Code:
Temporary marking of books in the library

This allows you to select books from your calibre library manually and mark them. This 'mark' will remain until you restart calibre, or clear the marks. You can easily work with only the marked subset of books by right clicking the Mark Books button. To use this feature, go to Preferences->Toolbars and add the 'Mark Books' tool to the main toolbar.
(this is a push pin icon)
I don't remember what the star is for. A PI made mark?
KG mentioned somewhere that the pin can be customised 'in the usual' way, I think that's done in the resources folder - I've never had cause to change anything there.

So I assumed the OP had a customised their icon resources to have their own icons etc. Prior to 1.5 a gold star was used in the cover grid to indicate 'marks', its been replaced by a gold pin; I suspect most people missed seeing the gold stars, or assumed they were something to do with ratings.

I know books nominated as being within Find Duplicates exclusion groups have 'marks' that 'persist' - maybe the OP has stumbled on another instance where temporary marks aren't temporary.

Thanks everyone for the replies. They were marks for Find Duplicates exclusions; removing the exclusions removed the marks.
