Downgraded from 4.23 to 3.48-can't delete books
I just downgraded from v4.23 64 bit to 3.48 64 bit and while it went smoothly, it kept all of my settings and library location, but I can't delete books from Calibre. I have to run the portable version 5.9 to delete the books. I get an SQL Error: no such module fts:5 when I try and delete any books. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I run Window 7 which is why I downgraded to an older version, the ebook viewer kept crashing my display drivers with the versions over 4.
Thanks in advance. Ellie |

If you opened a calibre library in a version 5 release of calibre then it was upgraded in a way that makes it no longer compatible with any calibre version prior to 4.23.

To fix it, you'll need to make a new library with "copy structure" option checked and then copy all your books into it.

May not be an option, though. The "Device" part of Ellie's profile indicate that they're using a netbook, which is known for having...not so great hardware.
Please stop giving "solutions" that aren't actually solutions. |

One thing I have found is that Calibre 5 is faster then previous versions. So that would be an advantage to running Calibre on a netbook providing it worked.

I also tried copying the metadata.db from the new library to the old one (I saved the old one first) and then nothing showed up for a library. Any further ideas? Ellie |

Sorry about that but I haven't used a netbook for years, forgot to change it on my profile. I use a PC with Win7 on it.

Try naming it something like My New Library, a unique name. I can't remember how to rename it back though.

Yes, you'll need to copy the books from My Library to My New Library. It only copies structure so that no data from custom columns is lost during that.
