Question Merge book by error

Hello,

I was editing my tags and did a kind of drag and drop from a book to another. And by error I clicked on "Return" button before noticing it.

So I validated the window asking if I want to merge 2 books.

Were checked:
Merge Metadata
Merge formats
Delete Merged books

Is there a way to identify which book was merge on which one (some logs maybe) ?

Thank you

Hello,

I found where the book moved.
So now I have another problem.

In have now:
  • Book 1
  • Format: mobi
  • Book 2
  • Format: docx, epub, mobi

In fact only the epub version moved from book 1 to book 2.

I can notice it, because when I ask to visualize the book 2, I see the epub of the book 1file that is different of the metadata and cover of the book 2

So now I would like to move onlw the epub file from book 2 to book 1.

How can I do it ?

Hello,

I replied to myself.

So I went to the folder where are physicaly stored the files.
I openned the folder where are the 3 files (docx, epub, mobi)

I openned each one with Summatra PDF and the are the same book.

So the question now is why when I do "View" from Calibre it shows another book ?

How I would do it: DO NOT USE THE OS TO DELETE OR MOVE BETWEEN FOLDERS.
1) on Book 2 in Calibre: Tap 'O' (open file location); (Leave Explorer open)
2) Now on Book1 in Calibre; open the Metadata editor ('MDE'): Drag the format from explorer into the formats section (this is NOT an OS move) ; OK
3) Back to book 2: Open the MDE, select the format: delete (the recycle icon);OK
This way Calibre maintains the correct data
