Move book from one library to another

Flhappygal · 03-15-2016, 04:24 PM

I am using Calibre for Mac (OS X El Capitan). In the windows version, a right mouse click gave me an option to move my book to a different library. I cannot find that function in the Mac version. Can anyone help?

@Flhappygal - you should be able to add the Copy to Library action to any menu/toolbar via Preferences->Toolbars

So you should be able to put it in the book list context menu

IIRC that option only appears when you have multiple libraries on that computer.

If you have multiple libraries in the Quick Switch list, and you don't see the right-click "Copy to library" option, then it must have gotten deleted somehow. You can re-add it from Preferences ==> Toolbar.

EDIT: ninjaed -- partially.

Thank you. That will work, then I can just delete it from the first library. The windows version allowed "MOVE" in one step, but this will work too. Thanks again.

There is a second (optional) choice on:
Copy To Library: Destination Delete after copy
It does it all
It just uses 2 stages for safety
