That json file is irrelevant, there's one in every library folder. Some preferences… e.g. custom column definitions… are stored in the metadata.db preferences table. That json file is used, along with the metadata.opf files in the book folders, by the
Library Maintenance->Restore database feature.
I've attached five screen shots:
- the one you asked for (I think);
- two Manage Author dialogues for the two libraries showing the content of the Link property in each, which are what links the two libraries together;
- the Books and Author book lists, together with Book details showing which links are copied from each to be pasted into the other library's link property.
I added a picture of Shakespeare and a cover for A Midsummer Night's Dream - they are not in the zip I posted earlier.
