Hi,

I've been a Calibre user for awhile now and I have been having problems with my library. I moved the library to a new local folder on my Mac. After creating a new library from this location, I had to restore database almost everytime I opened Calibre.

I just opened it and there's only one book in my library. When I click Switch/Create Library... and then choose my folder it says "There is no existing calibre library at /CalibreLibrary."

I can still see all my book folders with files inside in my folder. There are also 3 metadata files:

1) metadata [conflicted].db
2) metadata_db_prefs_backup.json
3) metadata_pre_restore.db

What should I do?
