I am using Mac Calibre and ever since I moved my library to an external hard drive I'm having two issues:
1. When I edit an epub's metadata and click save I get the following error: FileNotFoundError:[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '._Book Title'. If I click ok it still saves. Here's the show details data:
calibre, version 6.14.1

2. If I change the title of the book, not only does the above error happen but it doesn't remove the old book folder and metadata.opf file.
Thanks for any help.
