Update database file after new author folders pasted in.
To share my new books with my wife (different computer) I've tried just copying the new author folders from within my Calibre Library folder and then pasting them into the analogous place on her computer. To get Calibre to recognize the new books, I then go to Library Maintenance and Restore Database. That's fine for a small database, but with several thousand books the restore time is exorbitant. Is there any way to just update the database (metadata.db) with only the new info and avoid processing all the old books?
