yes I am hoping for a "mass refetch" - learning new vocabulary!

When I copied the My eBooks folder across originally it had the June db in the Calibre folder, and calibre failed to register any books. When I put the db file in the root (that is the My Ebooks folder) it created the empty folders utilising the metadata, however not the actual book files which are in their own folder bu author, series and book title.

Something I dont understand - doesnt calibre create the My eBooks folder containing Calibre, Covers, Feeds, HTML, database folders? If this is a normal action for calibre then you would have asked me to copy over the My eBooks folder rather than the calibre folder. Anyway I did pick up on my original error and copied across the whole folder structure, yet calibre did not handle the db as you expected it to.

The Calibre folder contains the actual book files, along with any cover jpg. The Covers folder has a few jpg files also but I am unsure why there is duplication.

The bug is how slow Calibre is and the numerous times it has hung and crashed. If this behaviour continues now I have rebuilt the database I will let you know via the forum.
