If the latter, that's a bad idea- you shouldn't manually mess around in Calibre's library folder- it won't know about files you copy there, and you can break things badly.

I moved them manually into the folder that I had requested Calibre use as the library, It was my intention to then go into Calibre and use the add books but when I switched to Calibre (open in PC all this time) the books were listed and I noticed that it showed them as also in my NC.
I looked today and see that Calibre has created a metadata.db file in the folder so maybe everything will be okay as searchs pull up the correct book. I realize that Calibre does internal things when you add books and had intended to use the add books feature. Program seems very forgiving.
