Importing file issue.

NickBel · Today, 03:21 PM

Hi Everyone,

I have exported my data when I changed my laptop and I am now trying to import them.
Once I select the folder where the CALIBRE-DATA Files are stored, I get an error message while the importing process is running. As per screenshot, the error messag says: The folder "xxx" is not valid: The last part of this exported data set is missing.

Now, there were a lot of books, with a categorization that took long, and many notes also written. It would be very annoying to miss all that work done, is there a way to fix the issue? There are 6 parts in this folder which I assume contain most of my previous e-pubs, even if I could get all of those, that would be fine. Isn't there a file that can be added in the folder so to complete the data set? Is there a solution for this?

Thank you,
Nick

Onedrive is a Networked drive (and it has additional features that really do not play well with Calibre).

Mostly Fine to keep a Backup there, but never the Working Library
Note: Anything that changes ANYTHING inside the Library folder can (and usually will) cause issues. The DB contains the EXACT path to the book.
