Even paranoids have real enemies - Need help with tidy up please
Background is that I have just been arrested, jailed and deported from Angola after working there for 6 years. Why do I mention this ?. There was no English bookshop in the country so I came to rely on my Kindle and the wonderful Calibre program to feed my voracious reading needs. However, as I left on such short notice, I dont have all my "stuff" and my Calibre files are a mess (my fault, not the program) as my fear of losing files meant I have them scattered all over various hard-drives, USB memory sticks, CDs (yeah I know). The tidiest version is still in Angola
I seek advice on a one off tidy up (which I will then of course back up).
In the good old days of DOS /early Windows, I would have just copied/moved all the files to one directory allowing Windows "file already exists - overwrite ??" process to eliminate duplicates.
Can I do something similar taking into account calibre's filing process which appears to create a directory for each book and associated files eg cover.jpg. Note I am not concerned about losing cover pictures as I dont really use them but am worried about the impact (if any) of losing *.opf files.
Appreciate any assistance on an idiots guide to tidying up whilst being cognizant of Calibre's process/needs
TIA
Steve
