Possible Calibre Portable 5.5 bug - adding an exe file as a book

Hi all!

I've just updated my Calibre Portable to the latest version. Now, every time I open Calibre, it wants to add a 'book' and I get a message that it's a duplicate book.

Quote:
✓ calibre-portable von Unbekannt [EXE]
Bereits in Calibre:
calibre-portable von Unbekannt [EXE]
The 'book' is indeed added as a book in its own folder, but inside is an exe file.

I'm really confused. Is it possible that I did something wrong on update? I already tried re-installing the update, but it didn't help.

Thank you very much for your great support! You are awesome.

I'm sorry, I didn't think of looking at Calibre's own site to search for bugs.
