Help! I accidentally removed one of my Calibre libraries - how can I get it back?
Hi!
I have 2 Calibre libraries, my kindle one and my PC one.
I wanted simply to "Quick switch" between them but, horror of horrors(!), the mouse pointer somehow flashed to "Remove library" and without realising it I had left-clicked the PC library.
Calibre then told me that my library was gone but that I'd need to delete the books manually if I wanted to.
At the very least, Calibre should have given a prompt ("Are you sure you want to delete?"!!!) ... but it didn't. My library of several thousand books was gone (but fortunately all the books (and metadata.db) are still there!
The question is - can I use this metadata to 'restore' my library? Or is there some other way.
I really don't want to create a new library and have to import them all again.
Sorry if this is a noob question, but I've no clue how I can easily restore the PC library.
As an aside, it would have been nice if Calibre had asked for confirmation before just deleting the library!
Look forward to hearing your solutions (if there are any).
Regards
korny
