That is the Metadata edit form.

Yours was already showing. (FWIW the book icon is in the lowest right corner)

The details pane is the pane that shows the same cover, on the Right (the Alternate location is bottom).

The tag browser is missing because of the error in startup, you need to fix that first.

Hi again!
Tried to solve problem by uninstall then install calibre, open a new library, then move the bookfolders from old library, deleting the 2 databases, then ask for restore of database from data in folders.
Now I get the tagbrowser-panel - but the new db seems to be curupt:
calibre, version 2.39.0
ERROR: Startup error: There was an error during calibre startup. Parts of calibre may not function. Click Show details to learn more.

That isn't going to fix anything. Once again: something is blocking calibre from accessing the database, you need to fix that first.

@ t.below

You seem bent upon ignoring advice from the Program Developer (and other experts).

What you have ended up with now is a permanently destroyed Library DB.

The full metadata backup WAS stored with the book file. When Calibre detects DB CHANGES, IT UPDATES the backup (metadata.opf) very shortly thereafter.
