Rating problem

[Phssthpok]

I have a virtual library for books with rating > 0, and another for books with rating > 3. I just added a book with no rating, and it shows up in both VLs.

Sorting by rating shows that it has a lower rating than the other books in the VLs, There is no <meta> tag with name="calibre:rating" in the book's OPF file. Setting the rating to 5 and then resetting it to "no rating" has no effect.

I've seen this happen before, and saving the file, deleting it and then re-importing it seems to fix the problem. Nevertheless, I'd like to understand what is happening here.

Can anyone tell me what could be causing the book to appear in these VLs?

First: >3.5 Includes >0 , so those are in both VL.

Try
rating: true (a rating has been set) instead of >0

rating: true and <3.5
raring: >=3.5 for the other

Yes, I know. And that's the way I want it to be. I want one VL to be a subset of the other.

The first VL has "rating:>=1" as the filter. Including "rating:true" makes no difference.
The second VL has "rating:>3".

So, any ideas what could be causing a book with no rating (i.e. rating:false) to show up in these?

It works for me.

Here are screenshots of the three cases:



Here is a screenshot of the >0 vl definition:


Questions:

• What happens if you copy the search expression from the vl and paste it into the search box (with no vl chosen)?
• What happens if you set the rating of a book showing no rating to 1, then to undefined? (Ooops -- you answered this one.)
• What version of calibre are you running?
• Does running Check Library make any difference?

It works for me too, in 99.99% of cases! This one book is the exception, and I've probably had it happen 3 or 4 times in as many years.

I'm using >=1 rather than >0, FWIW.

Q1 and 4: hmm, I've deleted and reloaded now so will have to find the original file that caused the problem... watch this space.
Q3: 4.9.1 (64-bit Windows). It has also happened occasionally in the past, with earlier versions.
