Transfer problem

[SeniorGolfer]

Dear Kovid Goyal,
the last time I contacted you was 2012, how time flys.
Anyway on your latest update 4.11.2 i have struck a problem.
Example, I have 3 epub books to load and yet only one will load at a time and it removes the previous ones.
When I select the 3 books I am advised, there are duplicate books, well there are not.
I have never had this problem before and I have done this a few hundred times. Normal the books do not have a title, so I just say one, two or three etc.
Any ideas/

Dave

Moved your post to its own thread.

Books must have a Unique Title - Author or they can be considered Duplicates. Adding a number is a good way to tie break
The FILE NAME (send template) must resolve as unique. {title}-{authors}
usually has it covered. If you use the sort field in the template, be sure the the *_SORT field in the MDE is not red. ( the Quality check plugin has checks to help locate these issues)

For some devices, this must be EMBEDDED into the book. If you just copy (using the OS) this never happens (the device transfer plugin does this).

Check the settings in Preferences->Adding books->Reading metadata the Adding actions.

Your post suggests they might not be what you think they are.

Post screen shots of the Reading metadata and Adding actions tabs if you're unsure.
