I've assembled a new computer, and am installing the apps I use most frequently, including Calibre. The previous computer is in France. I am in Arizona. The library is in Dropbox.

Having looked around a bit, I realize that I should have "exported", but I didn't.

When directed to use the library that has synced down to my Dropbox folder, Calibre says:

calibre, version 4.3.0
ERROR: No existing library found: There is no existing calibre library at C:\Users\bobne\Dropbox\Calibre Library

How can I convince Calibre that there actually is a library there, and to please use it?

Thanks.
