<p>calibre stores the list of your books and their metadata in a
database. The actual book files and covers are stored as normal
files in the calibre library folder. The database contains a list of the files
and cover belonging to each book entry. This tool checks that the
information in the database and the actual files on your computer
match.</p>
and covers belonging to each book entry. This tool checks that the
actual files in the library folder on your computer match the
information in the database.</p>
<p>The result of each type of check is shown to the left. The various
checks are:
</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Invalid titles</b>: These represent book entries in the
database that have no corresponding files in the calibre library.</li>
<li><b>Extra titles</b>: These represent extra files ni your calibre
library that have no corresponding entries in the database</li>
<li><b>Invalid authors</b>: These represent authors that exist in the
database, but do not have corresponding folders in the calibre
library</li>
<li><b>Extra authors</b>: These represent extra author folders in the
calibre library that do not have entries in the database</li>
<li><b>Unknown files in books</b>: These represent extra files in the
folder of each book that do not correspond to a know format or cover
for that book in the database.</li>
<li><b>Invalid titles</b>: These are files and folders appearing
in the library where books titles should, but that do not have the
correct form to be a book title.</li>
<li><b>Extra titles</b>: These are extra files in your calibre
library that appear to be correctly-formed titles, but have no corresponding
entries in the database</li>
<li><b>Invalid authors</b>: These are files appearing
in the library where only author folders should be.</li>
<li><b>Extra authors</b>: These are folders in the

in the database as having covers but the actual cover files are
missing.</li>

cover files are present but are marked as not having covers in the
database.</li>

<p>There are two kinds of automatic fixes possible: <i>Delete
marked</i> and <i>Fix marked</i>.</p>
<p><i>Delete marked</i> is used to remove extra files/folders that
have no entries in the database. Use with caution.</p>
<p><i>Fix marked</i> is more general. When applied to invalid items,
i.e. items that should be present according to the database but are not
actually present, it updates the database to remove those items. When
used with extra items, i.e. items that are present in the file system
but that the database doesn't know about, it will try to add those
items to the database, if possible. This is not always possible, in
which case, you have to use Delete marked or manually fix the
problem.</p>
<p><i>Delete marked</i> is used to remove extra files/folders/covers that
have no entries in the database. Check the box next to the item you want
to delete. Use with caution.</p>
<p><i>Fix marked</i> is applicable only to covers (the two lines marked
'fixable'). In the case of missing cover files, checking the fixable
box and pushing this button will remove the cover mark from the
database for all the files in that category. In the case of extra
cover files, checking the fixable box and pushing this button will
add the cover mark to the database for all the files in that
category.</p>
