Hello! I am new here, so sorry if I am doing something wrong.

I was hoping to get some help with an issue I am having. I have a Kobo Clara HD running koreader and I use calibre to transfer books.

So I just reorganized the folders on my Kobo, and am struggling with getting the old metadata transferred over so I keep my bookmarks and progress.

Right now my books are all in a "calibre" folder, and I have book metadata set to book folder. What I have tried doing is copying all the old metadata into that book folder, which did not work. I have also tried opening the book so it generates a new metadata file and then overwriting it with the old file. Neither of these methods seem to be working.

Any ideas on how to fix this?
