Copying books between libraries where MANY libraries exist

tomwitt · 06-01-2020, 05:17 PM

I have a large number of libraries (more than 100).

I'm trying to consolidate and copy books between the libraries. After selecting the books, I right click and select The "Copy to Library" function. Many libraries are then listed (twice, the library itself and a second version with "(delete after copy)" appended). This list fills the entire screen. However, the libraries shown are only about one third of the actual libraries and the library I want to move the books to is not listed (or perhaps just not visible as the library name falls alphabetically near the end of the library list). There is no option to scroll this list to the right to see additional libraries.

Is there another way in Calibre to copy books between libraries?

Why not delete all those from the list and just add the ones you are working with at the moment?
Delete ONLY deletes the link from the list.
