How do I go from multiple libraries to one?
Before I knew about Virtual Libraries, I used multiple libraries. Now I want to consolidate all my books into the default library. (and because --with-library doesn't seem to work with 3.x portal).
I also don't normally use my default library so I also want to copy the settings from one of my other libraries. Do I:
or
The first option seems safer but requires 2x+ space temporarily. |

Looks like import/export is not allowed on calibre portable:

It is easy enough copying my books between libraries, but I wanted to use the import/export method because I want to also copy my library settings. Any way to do that without manually redoing all the settings? Under "switch/create library...", what if for 'new location', I choose the location of the target library/default library (it's blank) with option 'move current library to new location'? Update: tried it and it says: Quote:
