jamesgl · 03-22-2025, 06:22 PM

For the last year, I have successfully transferred caliber from one of my computers to another using the export function, and then imported the same data using the import function.

I've done this FLAWLESSLY AT LEAST 70 TIMES over the last year..
Windows 10, latest version. Caliber latest version 8 as indicated below.

For the 1st time, I've attempted this after installing version 8 – NOT saying this is the problem – and I repeatedly get the following errors. (please see below under the Asterix)

It does appear as though the library has in fact been imported.
I am able to open and read any random book in the library.

Caliber companion on my android (phone and tablets) hook up flawlessly (via Wi-Fi) with the new library.
And I am able to transfer books to my android device using caliber companion.

HOWEVER… the indicated size of the original library is larger than the newly created library on the 2nd computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My email address is incoming@pobox.com.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and replying if you choose to do so.
