club1820 · 12-09-2012, 03:57 PM

I have my calibre library on an external hard drive connected to PC to save space on the PC Drive. I just realized that all the books that I have sent to iTunes to then have on my iDevices, have been copied to my PC Hardrive in the following folder:

C:\users\appdata\roaming\calibre\iTunes

This is defeating the purpose of my having my calibre library on an external drive. when I sent a book to itunes, its then copied to my C: drive and place in the above folder. I thought that iTunes would recognize that the book is in the original Calibre Library folder on my external drive. How can I fix this so that a duplicate file isnt created and that Itunes uses my original Calibre file on the external drive?

thanks in advance!
