My Calibre is empty and I'm not sure how to fix it. Edited for clarity.

I have Calibre in Dropbox, but the actual library folder is on all my devices, it’s just any changes update the file and Dropbox and sync down to each device. I have three devices with calibre installed. This has been my set up for years. Everything has been fine until recently but now on my Mac and my Windows 11 pc calibre is empty, but its fine on my windows 10 pc.

My Mac recently upgraded to the new OS and I think that's the issue also with the W11 pc as that used to be on W10.

On my mac (my main device) I went to Switch/Create library and navigated to the calibre library folder (its already pointed to the correct place) and when i selected this folder I get the error message "Same as Current". I did notice that my db file is greyed out, not sure if thats part of the problem.

I'm just not sure how to get Calibre to display my books again.
