[Old Thread] import library or export to single file add to existing library

PCreighton · 09-03-2010, 09:42 PM

In my enthusiasm to start using Calibre on two machines with the idea when all is done I would merge the two. After reading posts about importing librarys and save to single file and add.

Can someone advise the best approach to use.

By the way this is my first week using this product and I am so impressed great job on this product. I had written a MySQL dbase to collect the infomation about all my books. Once I had seen this product I was ecstatic to drop by dbase that required manual search for metadata and manual conversion of books.

great product.

The latest releases includes (new) facilities to move books between libraries so simply make use of those features.

You opened a thread for this already. Please do not spam the forum and open up every old thread you can find. There is no reason to ask this question in multiple threads. This thread is 6 months old. Every version since this thread was started supports multiple libraries.

Quote:

Release: 0.7.17 [03 Sep, 2010]

New Features

Managing multiple libraries: Allow renaming/deleting libraries from the Choose library menu

And many versions before this thread was created.

Quote:

Release: 0.7.15 [20 Aug, 2010]

New Features

Multiple library support: Various improvements to make using multiple calibre libraries easier. "Now, when you switch libraries using the Choose Library button on the toolbar, entries are created in the menu of that button to easily switch to that library in the future. Also, you can now right click on a book in the calibre library and use the 'Copy to library' action to copy the book to another library, that you have switched to at least once. The name of the current library is shown in the titlebar. "

Read the What's New log to find out when features were first created.
