Creating Columns to Show if Epub file exists.
I have had a Hard Disk problem and have been trying to rebuild my library in Calibre. calibre shows a list of books i had but many of those books are not actually on the hard disk.
How can i create a custom column to automatically show if the file is present? |

Have you tried running Library Maintenance/Check Library and Library Maintenance/Restore Database to produce a Library that matches what is on the disk ?

Checking for Errors may leave 'Empty Books' . This updates the DB, where the other remakes a new DB. Which can then be located with a search: formats:false |

I was not clear what you meant by "Empty Books" theducks but that does sound like what i am after.... so will give it a try with fingers crossed.... thanks i guess this means that there is no way to create a yes/no column that tells you if the file is actually present? |

Backup the existing Library folder as a safety measure. The perform both parts of the Library maintenance:Check (the second part is what does the file checks): the use Fix Marked (missing) |
