Moving my Calibre library to another computer was stalled over the Thanksgiving holiday, but I'm now ready to give it a shot. Thanks very much for all the help so far.

Here's where I stand. I've copied the entire Calibre library folder from my laptop to an external hard drive. I assume my next step is to install a new copy of Calibre on the desktop computer on which I want to use the copied library. My question: Since the new installation of Calibre will create it's own library folder, how do I get Calibre to find the old library folder on the external hard drive?

Thanks again for the help.
