Hello, thank you for the feed-back, I am learning new things but we maybe going down the wrong path. Not looking to merge two libraries together into one.
Have two separate libraries containing different books. One by mystery/thrillers authors and the other containing hobby books. In my previous calibre edition, I could quick switch between the different libraries to view the different set of books. I would like to import the two different libraries so I can do the same again.

Are you suggesting that I import/merge then separate the books into a different folder(library)?

Maybe I shouldn't try to import at all - is there a different way to add a complete library?

Tried- 'Add from directories and sub-directories' to import the separate libraries with no success. What am I missing????

Do I have to "Add books from a single directory' and add the books one at a time and not as a group(library)?
