Frustrated Calibre

59Bob · 08-21-2024, 04:30 AM

After a recent 'Large' Hit-cup with my iMac.
I have to set up Calibre basically from scratch, but I can not create a new Library for my wife's books within the Calibre Library, I normally have one for myself,1 for the 'Boss' (wife) & 3 others.
Could someone kindly guide me back into the world of sanity& point me in the right direction.

Kind Regards

Bob

You have to explain exactly what the problem is and please do so in the calibre forum.

I would suggest continuing this discussion in the calibre forum's Library Management subforum.

What I suspect you need to do is to create a directory called whatever you might want (I used Libraries) and subdirectories under it for your existing and to be created libraries. Move your existing calibre library (right click on the library icon, then Switch/create library. Browse to the new subdirectory for your library, select Move the current library to new location and click OK. Repeat this for the new libraries you want to create but select Create an empty library at the new location and check Copy structure from current library.

Hope this is of some help to you.
