How about losing track of Formats?
I know better than to add/remove formats outside of the GUI. I had a Surprise when I went to fix ![]() I clicked open in the book browser, that showed epub as my only format. Surprise: there was the same book in PRC in the folder (many of my Baen books were converted from PRC, so PRC would not be an unusual format to see ![]() The DB Integrity check reports no errors. Am I correct, that the check only tests for "Inner (file name.type) Joins", when checking for files present? I have zero Python-Fu, so writing a tool to test for "un-expected files" report, is not within my skill set. Using Eyeball Mk I method, is (mostly) out of the question with 1100 books ![]() |

You know the answer to that.

Do these extra formats have the correct name? Their name should be absolutely identical to the epub, except for the extension. Quote:

I will have to wait and find another one. I removed the book
![]() I would expect that the tool would have an "Exclude or advisory" list. So other standard filesystem (usually hidden) would not cause alarm. Calibre optional files seems a candidate for the user maintained list. Yes, a command line tool would be cool (enough. So as to not clutter the GUI) |

![]() Take a look under preferences -> advanced -> miscellaneous and push the button 'Check the library folders for potential problems'. The function reports. It doesn't change/fix anything. The function is also available in the the command line under calibredb. Try Code:
calibredb check_library --help |

I just tried the feature out. While it seems like it could be helpful, nothing I did in the 'ignore filename' or 'ignore file extension' boxes could get it to filter .DS_Store from the results. And seeing as OSX is such a big fan of that hidden file it winds up overwhelming the results...

You could fix it by renaming all those pesky .DS_Store files to .ds_store. The mac file system is case-insensitive, isn't it? ![]() |

Cool, glad to hear it. I certainly don't have a problem renaming them, even if OSX got upset.. problem is it will just put them back

That was quick
![]() I tried on my test DB (on Ubuntu Lucid) and it found a log file I had placed there a while back. Now to try on my main DB (XP) |
