I currently have a around 500 books in my library, complete with +200 tags so that I can access the correct books easily. But I can't open any of the books. Calibre keeps saying that none of the books have an available format.

I could go to MetaData and add the epub to the book again for every book manually. But this costs a lot of time, and some of the covers don't come back if I do that.

Is there an easy way to get all the 'formats' back with the books, without losing all my tags? I'd hate to have to put all the tags back on the books again.

Thanks for your time! And thanks in advance for any help!
Are you messing around inside the Library folder after you add books? The GUI and the library folder names are tightly linked (as in 100%). Any change breaks the linkage. You might be able to salvage your library using the Fix section of the Quality check Plugin

Did you play around with Preferences: Behaviour?

Run both parts of Library: Maintenance: Check Library and see what errors that reports
