No metadata.opf file. Why?
Hallo.
Sorting my library I found an author whose books are all without the usual metadata.opf files. What does that mean? I can read the books, also edit. Example with metadata.opf (other authors). Last edited by chaot; 06-24-2015 at 12:41 PM. Reason: [I]metadata.opf[/I] files |

Something/someone has seriously messed with your Calibre Library ![]() But it is easy to repair this particular (just takes some time to run). Right click the Library Icon: Library Maintenance: Check metadata backup status: Click the Queue button (and go do something else for a bit. Rate is about 1 title per 3 seconds) |

If I'm not terribly mistaken and confuse now the respective author XY and even at the risk that I will now declared insane: Without any intervention, the metadata.opf files have now gathered.

![]() No, I would have copied author XY to a /home/ali/XY file, then delete him from calibre. With tool Run wellcome wizard load XY back from the separate file, edit (Queue all books for backup) (20 books → 60 seconds). After add that author back to calibre. If I find again such ones without metadata.opf files I will report here. ![]() Last edited by chaot; 06-24-2015 at 12:42 PM. |

Right, because I didn't recently added anything. I don't understand for why you questioning that!?
Quote:
![]() After click Queue all books for backup calibre counts the books in total (here about 10000), show that figure and started. Now we are on 6852 remainings. Today, there is not enough time for the full run. I hope calibre remembers where it left off. That would be comfortable, I would say. Quote:

Besides objection. Two different 60 minutes sequences each gave pretty much a value of 2.5 seconds processing time per book.
As you said, it runs completely silently and in the background. And calibre remembers the previous day's level and carries on in editing. (Otherwise, at least I would have been hard to come to an end.) EDIT Next I will deal with that repair tool Embed metadata Library metadata backup status a little closer, but currently elsewhere new problems have emerged, so I have to move it a little to future. I missed a final message whether or what was repaired/done. Referring to tips for life away from civilization: MobileRead, the forum for all occasions. Thank you very special.
