I have a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.5 and a Nexus 7 tablet running Calibre Companion. The hard disk on my laptop crashed two weeks ago and I had to get it replaced. I can access the storage that Calibre Companion uses on the tablet and make a copy of the pdfs on the laptop, but when I drag them in to Calibre it doesn't recognise any of the metadata that I spent ages tweaking so the books have random names, etc.

Has anyone faced a problem like this? Does anyone know how to solve it? I want to recreate the calibre library I had a few weeks ago on my laptop without painstakingly reworking each and every file.
