I'm hoping someone has an idea on how I can save some time. I'm at a loss.
I was gifted a large Calibre library, and would like to merge it with my existing library. I can do a standard merge, no problem, but unfortunately, the person who donated the library to me, added extra folders and books to the Calibre library folder without using Calibre, so these wouldn't be picked up by the merge since they wouldn't be in the metadata database. From what I can see, they put multiple books per folder, and single books per folder, without being consistent. ![]() ![]() Thanks Last edited by toomuchreading; 03-28-2014 at 12:06 PM.

If you move the library, will it leave behind only the non-listed books? (Backup before you try this!)
You can use in the Library chooser the option Library Maintenance ==> Check Library to list extraneous files/folders and optionally delete them. |
