merging libraries

glnagrom · 02-20-2011, 11:51 PM

I have merged libraries before with calibre by saving one library to disk and using the add books to import them into the other library. In the past covers and metadata have imported in very nicely. However, I can no longer make it happen for love nor money. The metadata and covers are not importing back in. I should note--it does work one book at a time, but I have hundreds. I also just upgraded to 7.46--could this be the issue?

P.S. I have a file of over 7000 titles that I merged last week, covers and all in one operation. I know it CAN be done.
