I just recently moved my library to a new directory to keep my books more organized. After I moved the library, all the files were in the designated folder but being the neat freak I am I renamed the folder. Afterwards, all my books don't show up in calibre, however, all the files are still in the folder. I tried to restore my database through calibre library options but I get the message:

calibre, version 0.8.6
ERROR: Failed: Restoring database failed, click Show details to see details

Traceback (most recent call last):
