![]() When I reviewed those they, in the main, resolved to the poster "finding" the library so the books were in fact not "gone completely" as you are claiming in your own case. I performed your exact suggested search and it seems my luck with Google is far less than your own as I didn't find many relevant hits at all. ![]() I don't blame the users, I blame the IEEE, Posix should have had a nomove attribute on files and directories, like some pre-Unix/Posix file systems had. Many (most ?) of the reports of the "my calibre library disappeared" I've seen were caused by users inadvertently dragging the library to another location with their file managers. And the fact that you stated that the original problem was on a Windows installation indicated to me that you had not read the thread very carefully. IMO by tacking your problem onto the back of a 4.5 year old thread you implied that you considered the cause of your problem was the same as the what caused the original posters problem - I stand by my 'it seems improbable' assertion. I will see if I can figure out when this happened by looking at my disk backups when I return from my trip (with much of my library inaccessible ) Since my books are gone completely, I am inclined to believe that this was done at a level below the Mac's GUI (using the equivalent of Unix's "rm" command). If I had somehow messed this up, either moving or removing the files accidentally, (a) the files should have been found using "find" or searchlight, or (b) if I had deleted the files, they should have been found in the Mac's trash (which has not been emptied in months). ![]() On mobile reader alone, I see 4 results, and there are similar questions on other boards. Indeed, based on google results, I draw exactly the opposite conclusion. So I don't agree that it's improbable that Calibre has a defect. ![]() If you search for "calibre library disappeared" in Google, you find many hits. And MR member itimpi mentioned Windows as the possible culprit before it became apparent that the OP wasn't running Windows. Windows was mentioned in respect of two other unnamed 3rd party programs that were alleged to have done similar things. Given that its 4 years and 4 months between the original post to this thread, and your post today and these usage statistics it seems improbable that calibre has a defect that could cause an entire library to disappear without a trace.īTW the originator of this thread was using EXT3 on Ubuntu Linux. ![]()
