And of course there are folders within each library subfolder that contain the books. I want Calibre to see those two libraries so that I can flip between them in Calibre but I can't figure out how. It only seems to want me to add one library (folder). I'm thinking as if there were and Option to "Add Existing Library" or something and just put the path in and Calibre would see it, and then I would repeat that and add then other library. I don't think that's there but that's what I want to do. I did it so easily last time that I never though anything of it and this time I'm stumped for some reason. It's hard to describe things via written text and just as hard for people reading it to figure out what you're trying to describe!
That is proper.
I misunderstood. I thought you had merged
BTW these ARE complete Libraries (Author folders in the same place as metadata.db)?


The option is there:
On the Library Icon: Create/Switch: USE EXISTING: <select the others path to metadata.dbs FOLDER. AKA Hers>
Now Calibre will switch AND Mine will appear on the Library Icons 'quick switch' list. click that and Hers, will be on the list (The active Library can't be switched TO )
