Calibre Library is Empty
Hi

I have a MacBook Pro, I opened calibre today and got a flash bad error message and now my calibre library is empty. All the files are on my MAC and I am trying to point calibre to my existing library but the metadata.db back up file is greyed out. Can anyone help please?

Thank you

Thanks again for your help x
