Please tell me that I didn't waste my time sorting them??? Well at least the back up of my library will be pretty... if nothing else lol. ( I feel a chorus of always look on the bright side of life coming on hahaha )

"If the opf file in each directory has the metadata then using the dropdown arrow next to the Add Books icon and selecting Add books from directories, including subdirectories One book per directory should do the trick. just point to the parent directory that contains all of the Author directories"

As for the above not every book has a .OPF , and i was kinda hoping after veiwing the help video that after I import my books i would be able to get the cool looking metadata that calibre found, I guess I kepf the .OPF and the Jpeg's where I could find them as a back up.

Also If I choose "Add books from directories, including subdirectories" is calibre smart enough to know that the Author / Series Folders are just for sorting purpose's? I am not gonna get a load of false listed books???
and will this option add all the different versions of the books like the merge function?

dwanthny, I like the whole start small idea, it has always been one of my downfalls... lol
