Hi

Yes i mean 20000 Books but it uses 60GB of disk space some PDF's are quite large.

Since i load everything in bulk i have to spend quite some time editing the Metadata and there is were i see the slowdown. 10 - 15 seconds per item. I still have to review at least 8000 items. Maybe my Add wasn't as good as it could but but its difficult to find the documents with a nice file name to load.

I thought of multiple Libraries, that would be fine but the search only works on one library at the time, maybe a new feature search multiple libraries.

I think calibre is a great tool just it's taking me a lot of time to edit the metadata and some tweaks would help.
