Hello.
Recently my metadata.db files in the main calibre library got corrupted. This includes the backup. I say corrupted, but it's possible they got tampered with by someone having access to my computer. Either way, all the ebook files are there, but calibre does not recognize them in it's library. (Think walking into a library, shelves full, but the computer saying no books in the building).
I can 'add to library' but when I do that it creates duplicate folders and books. I don't want to move my books because they sync with an online backup (which also sync'd the metadata.db files, so I can't get them back from there either).
How do I rebuild the library without 'copying' the books and having thousands of duplicate files?
