Quick way to remove multiple libraries?

Rellwood · 05-29-2022, 04:32 PM

Is there some kind of trick or plugin that allows the user to remove every library but the one I'm in?

I have a lot (60 or 70) defunct libraries and I don't feel like going through the whole "library moved" or "Forget" for each one.

In the Calibre folder setting > gui.json file > "library_usage_stats" proprety

Code:

...
  "library_usage_stats": {
    "E:/Calibre/Comics": 212,
    "E:/Calibre/e-Book": 5940,
    "E:/Calibre/edition": 216
  },
...

Delete the unwanted line/library. Be careful, the last line ("edition" in this case) don't have comma at the end.
(copy and save a bakup before any operation)

Thanks so Much! I have Notepad++ and have been acustomed to digging around in various Calibre jsons
