Hi there,

I am running Calibre on a Mac and want to switch to Linux. Installation of the Linux version went fine, also I could copy the "Calibre" folder from the Mac to the Linux machine to have my settings also in the new computer.

I then exported all Calibre data from the Mac but could not import them into the Linux Calibre as there is no top menu bar like the Macs have and thus no according option.

Also: The one book Calibre comes with, is the Calibre introduction. When I opened it in the Linux Calibre, the book's metadata did not show the fields I added manually on my Mac version.

My two questions would be: How can I import my books into the Linux version and will the extra fields I added show up too?

Thanks for helping!
