Greetings,
I recently got a new laptop which I want to use as the place to store and maintain my calibre library.
Previously I used multiple libraries in Calibre and as I switch I want to integrate them into one library.
I have a copy of my "calibre libraries" folder and all subfolders (libraries, authors, books, .db, etc.) on a micro sd card.
As I began testing a new set-up for just a few books, I noticed that custom column metadata was populating inconsistently. Specifically:
- I used add books from a folder, assume files within a subfolder are the same book
- I had already added columns using lookup #cgenre, #lcc and #dcc
- #dcc populated, #cgenre definitely DID NOT populate, and I'm unsure about #lcc
I do not know why this is happening. I checked that I used lookup names identical to those used on my old pc's calibre installation.
I will need to do mass edits in my cgenre (custom genre) column once it's populating correctly.
Is there a better method for doing this transfer? And any suggestions on easiest tool to learn for edits?
It's slow-going for me re-configuring the messy libraries. TIA for any help.
