Transfer books between libraries
As the Calibre (GUI) allows only one library to be opend at the same time, I use the calibre server to oben mulitible libraries to be able to compare and transfer books between libraries. Worked quite nicely, as the server side (showing the contend on Firefox) has the function to copy/move books to another library.
When I tried to do this today the transferd book did not show in the library it was transfered to; I found it only after after I restarted calibre GUI.
To Calrify: I have calibre GUI running with my "standard" library oben, and in firefox I have the calibre server oben with 2 or hree diferent libraries. Now I compare the books and when I find one in these "server" libaries I copy it to the "Standard" Libary which i oben in the Calibre GUI,the book transfers, but i can not find it in the "Standard" library, it shows only up after I restart Calibre.
Using Calibre 5.6.0 (64bit), Windows 10

Simply right click on a book in the calibre GUI and choose "Copy to library"

Sorry, I know this function, but it is not working correctly! If I do this, i do not see the book in the library where I transfered it to. Only after I restarted Calibre was the book shown!

Thanks for your help and especally thanks for your Software!!

Best regards

Thomas

The target Library can not be in use. This is a Push from Source to Target.
Also, the Target has to be on the Local PC, Using the Local Calibre.

And if you are using SERVER , that needs a restart to read the DB (server caches the DB upon start)
