How is metadata handled in 0.7+? Is the change done to a Calibre db or is it done in the metadata of the file itself (e.g. each pdf)?

I did a lot of metadata edits on my collection at home (Mac) in Calibre. When I brought the folder to work and imported it into Calibre on a PC, the metadata was not there as I had edited it.

Do I need to bring a db folder with the books for Calibre to import? If it is that way, is there a way to do the edits to the file metadata?

Thanks.

Tony
