But this would still mean all files are in one directory and there is just one db?
It is just a matter of displaying.
How can this help handling a big db?

Well, it is 1.18 now.
I can of course try to not show the formats column.

custom columns built from other columns can slow calibre startup and database switch times. I had an example in that 590G database, when I reached ~6000 books startup times went from a few seconds to several minutes.

Yes I know and this is not the case.
The only customn columns I have are to show whether or not a book has been read or is on the e-reader and these columns are not based on others.
But back to the more pressing issue.
The good news is that after I pasted the old db over the current Calibre started (as usual very slow but at least it worked).
The bad news is that I obviously can not run a maintenance. Calibre crashed.
I think the next step should be to reduce the library and db by removing a big part (e.g. german language files).
Then try maintenance again and if this works rebuild what has been lost in the db by adding these files again (or however the best way would be to do this).
What do you think?
Not quite sure how to do it though - Calibre can display all e.g. German language files and I can mark them. And? Create Library and Copy these books to the newly created one?
