As opposed to option two which creates a brand new library at the named location. Option one tells calibre to use the "previously existing library", that is, the one located at the chosen folder, and add it to calibre as a library. I've done that often before, but don't want to risk mucking things up if there's a proper way If the easiest way is to do some registry editing, then just let me know. So what do I do from here? I really don't want to make Dropbox starting to do a lot of work again. NO! It's already done (well, at least the files themselves have been moved). NO! The new location has all the books already.ģ) "Move current library to new location". NO! The new location has all the books already - in fact it has more, as I added some more before restarting Calibre after moving the library.Ģ) "Create an empty library at the new location". and chose the dropbox folder as "New location" none of the three options make sense:ġ) "Use the previously existing library at the new location".
If I use "Calibre Library - Switch/create library. It took a looooong time for Dropbox to upload. How do I set the default Calibre Library to the new Dropbox folder? I don't want to move all the files again. However, since the files are not actually there anymore, when trying to view a book in this list, I just get the error "ERROR: cannot view - >bookname< has no available formats". It shows the list of all the books that were there at the time of moving the folder. But after restarting Calibre (portable version) it reverted back to using the old folder as the calibre library. and chose the Dropbox folder as "New location" with the option "Move current library to new location".
I used the option "Calibre Library - Switch/create library. When moving on the same drive (and partition), then why actually physically moving the files?). It was a lot of books and it took quite a long time (which I don't quite understand. I just moved my Calibre Library from a the default location in the Calibre installation folder to my Dropbox folder on the same drive and partition ( C: ). First off, thanks so much to the developer for making this wonderful tool available! It's a magnificient piece of work.
