In the worst case, I think you can create a new library and then use the 'add from folders and sub-folders' option. If I'm remembering right, that should import the existing metadata of anything with OPFs and then import the rest as-is.

But backup metadata.db and try 'restore database' first. If the OPFs exist it'll put things back.
