How can I add those "extra" titles/authors that are in the database? - Is it possible? Not interested in deleting the books, but I have 4 books that got added after a recent reset that I want to add.

Long story short, I messed up and deleted a bunch of desired metadata in a library I haven't updated in a while, so I swapped out the .db file from a couple of days ago (previous version), and while the missing metadata was fixed, I realized I had added a couple of books from another library today that now show as being "extra". Since the books were a move/delete from previous library, I don't want to delete them.

Other than finding them in the files using my file manager and moving them, then re-adding them, is there a ways of making them "add" to the library?
