Overall, the library looked the same after as before. Then I noticed that a few of my old entries were missing their covers. All of the records appeared to still be in the library after the move, but some were missing covers, some were missing books, and some were missing both.
All of the metadata, ratings, tags, and collections moved for those records. When I looked where the library used to be, I can see the missing files.
The library is internally consistent and the books were correct before the move. I only add a few books at a time and make certain they're correct before adding more.
[/QUOTE]Also, I see you were attempting to combine 3 libraries. Am I correct that you moved one, and then used "Copy to Library" for the books in the other two, and didn't attempt to "move" the last two libraries into the same folder?[/QUOTE]
Not quite. I was attempting to move three separate libraries and keep them separate. I've wanted to move them all into one master Calibre folder for awhile now, but not badly enough to go change the path for the shortcuts to them. With Calibre now supporting multiple libraries, it seemed like a good time to do housekeeping. I probably should have followed my normal method of copying, pasting, and rerunning setup to point Calibre to the proper folder, but tried the new feature instead. Oddly enough, my old main library still shows up as an option and is the default when Calibre opens. That library also shows all of the records, metadata, etc., but is missing most of the books and covers.
