I screwed up my library while uninstalling x86 version and installing x64 version.
The metadata.db was deleted, but the folder containing all the (many many) subfolders with the books is still there and well sorted.
What's the best way to recreate the metadata.db file (so, the Calibre library) without having to manually add all the books contained in the (many many) subfolders?
