hi itimpi

I went through the process substituting a June db file for the (empty) one created today. It did eventually register the books with all metadata. No covers, but I can live without that. All the covers are located in a file, originally organised by calibre but it doesnt (yet) see them. It took 30 minutes to register any books, and I believed it wasnt going to work at all!
Thanks for the help.

I spoke too soon the "books" were just empty entries probably created from the db metadata file. I tried to remove these entres and the program hung, and didnt respond. I am beginning to think its a vista bug as well as my mistake with the folder.
