Move selected books to other library

Created a new library with same structure. Found a thread that says select the books to move, right-click and select Move to library.

I don't get that option when I right-click. Using version 0.9.36.

Hi macnab69,

Select the books in the OLD library.
Right click and select "Copy to library" and select the NEW library name.

(I'm still running 0.9.27 but functionality should be the same.)

Yep. To move, use 'Copy to library (delete after copy)'.

That's the problem - don't get Copy to library. All I get is Edit metadata, Send to Device and View.

Disconnect your device. Calibre won't let you mess with libraries when it sees a device connected.

Device not connected. Send to device there, but sub-menus greyed-out because no device present.

While in the NEW library:

- Use the "Add books" function to manually add a book to the NEW library.
- When you right-click on this added book, do you get the "Copy to library" option?

No. Can add a book from old library that way, but nothing changes. So it doesn't matter which library I am in. Maybe "Copy to library" accidentally fell of a version or 2 ago. These things happen.

The Destination Library needs to appear in the 'Quick Switch' (library list).
To get that, you must have (at least 1 time) switched to that Library (and the location is still valid: no been moved)

Does work with Quick switch. I use Windows 7 64-bit 0.9.35. Downloaded and installed 43-bit 0.9.36. No change. Busy downloading 0.9.27 to test that version.

I didn't have that option either so I had to manually add it from preference>toolbar and then I customized it. (and yes i'm on 0.9.34)

At least that is a solution of sorts. Now I can do my move.

The icons displayed on the Toolbar are considered custom settings. So, after a calibre update, new features adding icons to the Toolbar don't automatically appear - that would be interfering with your custom settings. The user has to manually add these new icons to access the new feature.

I could hear the Hissey fits from here if calibre changed anyone's custom(even if it was plain Vanilla) tool bar

Maybe, when there is a NEW feature that uses an icon/menu Calibre could detect it and Force a decision, even if it is to just place it on the 'Not used shelf' (what is currently the Left side list of icons)
