I have a problem with the metadatabase on one of my libraries. I use multiple libraries and “switch” those libraries when I need to process the books in each library.

This has not caused a problem until recently when the response time on metadata opening and update slowed to a crawl with one library.

I have converted all the libraries bar one back to to Portable Calbre which has been fine.

The problem library contains 45,000 books. I run a library check but it returns no errors. I recently imported 5,000 books from into a new library and that resulted in approximately 200 books with out any metadata (I used the import of folders and subfolders which should contain the book, cover and OPF file.

Is there are way of resolving this as importing into Calibre portable will probably take 2 or 3 days with questionable results.

All my books are contained on a USB drive and backed up to a NAS.

Thanks
