Move current Library.
2. I choose use existing library and pointed to the path for the folder named Library.
I now get and error message stating there is no existing library at this path.
So I don't know what I am doing wrong. The folder named Library has all the author folders in it which contain the individual metadata.

Does it contain the
actual library, untouched from the old computer? That contains a metadata.db file, and folders organized according to "author/title (id)/" with files "title - author.ebook-type" "metadata.opf" "cover.jpg"?
Or does it have a
saved library which contains no database and the folder structure looks different? If so, then you will have to do as I said, and create a new library, then import like I said earlier:
