Missing books

SteveM49 · 01-21-2022, 12:31 PM

From another thread, I found that by searching for formats: "false" I can generate a list of books that the db knows are missing. I might be able to fix some of these errors. Is there a way to copy the list to another application so I can refer to it as I try to fix? Trying to select the list turns it blue, but copy and paste only bring over the title of the last book.

Formats: false tells you about entries that have no formats BY CHOICE (AKA Empty books, metadata and covers only ).

The Database is properly in sync with the (non)files (as verified with Library maintenance).
That will not tell you someone deleted a file from outside Calibre
