Ok, these are my mistakes, not yours.

After reading your comments about the 7.36 and my posts, I decided to do it right. First, I read the posting guidelines. Then I read all I could find about "Tweaks" in the manual. I'm impressed with all of Calbres abilities! I felt, and do feel, I can make the changes.

I downloaded 7.35 to have as a backup if needed. Lastly, before starting on the tweaking with 7.36 I copied a back-up of the folders that had calibres catalog/lists or what ever on a separate drive. (remember, I'm new at Calibre.)

That's when the disaster struck. (Mine, not yours)

When I went back to Calibre, all my lists were gone. I had no catalog.
My books were still on the PC, but not in Calibre.

I tried to find a way to recover and reclaim the existing list. Not having studied that subject yet, lets just say, I failed.

My main problem seemed to be it kept trying to go to the hard drive I put the back-up files on when I would try to recreate the catalog.

To wind this up, I did manage to create a new catalog. I'm adding my books back into a better folder structure that will be cleaner.

My Questions?

Could I have saved my Library with a simple procedure?
Any guesses on why it kept wanting to go to the back-up drives?

I did go back to 7.35 after all this happened. I see that 7.37 is now out. After following that awhile on the forums, I'll update.

I am going to read all I can find in the manual. All this is happening faster than I can read! I've been through the FAQs several times.

Thanks

Jack
