I have been copying books to the NAS for a long time even tho Synology ver 7+ killed using the 2 apps that displays the library for readers. I mean, it is just copying of a book & metadata.

I just found that my Surface Go 2's calibre library shows on the desktop as 'calibre-library' so the distinction is the hyphen. Did not do any changes to the permissions on the Go 2.

Now another question arises why isnt' there an item for rename the library on the Surface Go 2? It is also running win 11 pro.

Anyway I am set as far as copying goes & is better/easier method for getting the laptop & tablet update. I have been doing the hard way of using the calibre on the laptop/tablet to "add books" to get the books from the destop; and it is much more work when adding mutiple books.
