Cover Browser glitchy?

[Mel]

The cover browser isn't refreshing properly for me. If I change the sort of the library the covers stay in the previous order, only the names below the cover photo change. The covers and the names no longer relate to each other. I have to get out of Calibre and restart it to get the two re-synched. Is this happening for anyone else?

Which version of calibre are you using?

The 'cover browser' only shows 1 name. The current book.
Changing the sort does not change the current book, only those on either side.

I also tried Grid View FWIW I show Series below, That tracked the image change properly with a change of sort.

By any chance do you have your %appdata% folder included in a sync?
C:\Users\thedu\AppData\Local\calibre-cache\gui-thumbnail-cache
Because that is where those nails are stored

Version 7.13. Except for adding a couple of plug-ins I haven't changed any settings from default so it shouldn't be syncing anywhere weird.

What I am seeing is the titles refresh but the covers don't. So if I had it initially sorted by date and The Hobbit was fifth if I resort by title that cover stays in position five even though the book now in position five is After Hours.

Isnt happening for me. What OS, and run calibre in debug mode and post the log after it happens.

Nothing suspicious in that log though you should uninstall the broken wikidata plugin.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out.
