consistency between multiple libraries

Rellwood · 11-28-2015, 05:03 PM

I have no idea how to fix this.

I create new libraries, but now it's like each one is independent of the rest. I understand that each library is a whole new Calibre library, but is there SOME way to easily get the Virtual Libraries, custom icons, custom searches, tool bar settings, etc. to match up?

I hate that I can't have the rules and behaviors and the GUI all set the same

Is there a trick with creating or naming a library that will fix this?

I'm using an older version of calibre, but this might help:

Open the calibre library that has the settings you want to copy.

Select: Switch/Create Library
Select: Create an empty library at the new location
Select: Copy structure from the current library
