Let's say that you have 10000 books in your "usual" HD, and another 10000 in your "archive" HD.

After a while, your "usual" HD gets 20000 books, so you want to archive 3000 of them to your archive HD.

How would you address that scenario using the "file copy"/"library entry delete" trick?

Regards.
How about you highlight all the ones you want to move... you do a Save to Disk then delete them. Once you have done that you can import those books into a new library.
