Migrating library from Mac to Linux
Searched the forums, but didn't find a working solution, so I thought I'd ask this here...
I'm moving my Calibre library from my old Intel based Mac to an Ubuntu box. I exported the library data from the Mac and copied all the files it to the Ubuntu box, but when I try to import it, I get this message: The folder /home/calibre/IMPORTME is not valid: The first part of this exported data set is missing Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/dialogs/exim.py", line 257, in select_import_folder File "site-packages/calibre/utils/exim.py", line 262, in __init__ ValueError: The first part of this exported data set is missing I copied the 100GB of files over without a hitch, so, what am I missing? Are the library exports not compatible across Mac / Linux? Thanks for ANY help you can give me on this! |

Either you are missing a part or one of the files got corrupted. You can always transfer the libraries manually as explained in the note here:
