As you appear to have discovered the hard way: within a calibre library you shouldn't change the structure of the folders and files, or change their names. My advice regarding calibre libraries is 'look but don't touch'.
However, try asking yourself this: "What will I do with a mega/master folder that I can't do via the calibre GUI?"

Hi BetterRed,
thanks for your contribution.
It's the glass is half full scenario...
I use Calibre to convert formats
I use the mega library to search for my next reading title.
In the OLD days I used to swap real books, now I swap digital books (as many other people do) Some of those friends are like me and are not so techy minded so just keep making more Calibre libraries to search. and I even find folders labelled : 'you'll find it here!' where they have got really confused and started again.
My latest method is working fine so I'll continue.
The back it up to hard drive was also tried in the past but since I'm still recovering a major crash with it I'm wondering if it's sensible I may just put a back up on a big stick ......
Enough time to have lunch
Regards
Sailor Sue
