This is my first update to calibre so I just wanted to verify the process. Are the steps below correct?
1) Close all calibre windows.
2) Right click on the calibre system tray icon and choose Quit.
3) Remove calibre using Add/Remove Programs (or the Start Menu option, Uninstall calibre).
4) Once process ends, find and run the updated calibre installation file.
Lastly a couple of questions:
- Will the library metadata be retained., or must it be re-entered when updating?
- Can the library path be changed without re-entering the books or metadata? (Assume books are moved to a completely different hard drive and file structure: C:\Books\<author>\<title>.<ext> to G:\Library\Books\<author>\<title>.<ext>.)
- Is there any way to group book genre files seperately? Adding a Fiction, Manuals, News or equivalent folder between ...\Books\<author>\ in my example above?
- Similiarly, can authors be grouped alphabetically within a genre? (I've noticed with so many authors my system is slowing down a bit.)
Thanks in advance for the answers.
