Option one tells calibre to use the "previously existing library", that is, the one located at the chosen folder, and add it to calibre as a library. As opposed to option two which creates a brand new library at the named location.
Not sure why calibre doesn't remember the new location, but just use option 1 to open the library from the moved-to location.
And the reason why calibre took a while to move is because it doesn't know whehter or not the new location is on the same partition, so it cannot hardlink the folder, it must copy+delete everything. I'm sure Kovid has a good reason why, though. So the fact that it's on the same drive doesn't actually help.
This is why on the occasion that I had to move a library, I do it from the file explorer. You need to make sure you copy the ENTIRE "Calibre Library" folder, and then calibre will open up with a popup saying the library cannot be found, please select the new location or else select forget this library.
Somehow during your transfer, the database didn't get removed??
