metadata.db is greyed out
I am trying to restore my Calibre library (MacBook Air). In my Calibre library and in the backups, metadata.db is greyed out when I try to import my library. Right now all data in the Calibre app is gone, blank, kapooey.
How do I restore my library? Thanks for any help. |

I assume you mean greyed out in Finder, which means it's probably a MacOS/HFS+ issue rather than a calibre issue. A search for "why are some files greyed out in finder" may provide some answers.
What tool(s) do you use to do the backup/restore. Maybe MacOS regards .db files as something 'special'. I've had Windows tell me that they were 'system' files, although it didn't prevent me doing what i wanted. BR |
