Then we're in furious agreement.

But you still haven't disclosed which file system is being used on the external drive.

Immediately after that I tried to open the book (pdf in these cases) and it told me that there was no such book. Opening the path, the error message was correct; the book and the cover files were both gone.

This is the latest version running on a mac.
I've use the same procedure many times in the past and never experience any problems whatsoever.

Is this a bug or did I again do something that I was supposed to know that I shouldn't do?

You edited the book metadata via calibre, were you looking at the files via calibre ('open folder'), or did you go their via file manager? Calibre stores books in a path based on (author, title, ID), so if you retitle a book it will move.

I've run into this when I opened the file for viewing in Acrobat, closed the PDF, retitled the book, then in Acrobat tried reopening, and... gone! Reopening via calibre does the Right Thing.
