Books missing in library

jax0141 · 10-02-2015, 06:16 PM

I have my library saved and I moved it to an external hard drive.
Now when my books load in Calibre library, I can see the details but the format is empty. When I look in the library folder on the external hard drive I can see the books.
I have checked the library and restored the database but with no luck. Is there a way to load all the books or do I have to go through the folder loading individually?
Thanks.

Do you mean the ebook.FMT files are in the library, but the book records claim you have no attached ebook files?
Check Book Details ==> Path ==> Click to open (click this

)
Are the missing files there?

What is the output of Library Maintenance ==> Check library
Does it list extra files? If so, where.

"No luck" doesn't tell us much -- did you get errors during the Restore?
(Indicates duplicate copies of the ebook record, one of which is maybe getting skipped but has your files???)
