Combine or merge two libraries on same device

[jeyn2]

I have two libraries on a PC. How can I combine or merge them?

I see instructions online a few places that say to select books in Library 2, right-click and "copy to ...", but this command does not seem to appear on currrent version.

Thanks

By default it is in book list context menu, if it isn't add to to a toolbar or menu, viz:

Also note that the other (target) Library mist appear on the quick switch list.
You can't copy to... if there is no known target

I tried this on a dummy library. Selected a group of books, right clicked, clicked on Copy to Library and select <library name> delete after copy.

Thanks everyone. I succeeded, but in a roundabout way, it seems.

I probably did not originally create the new library properly.

I exported Library 2 from an old computer, "created" a second libarary on my new computer, just by making a new folder in Windows in the default directory (same directory where my original library was), and imported.

When I wrote here, I was trying to figure out how to copy from Lib 2 to "Lib 1."

I was not able to add the command to the main toolbar, but I could add it to a different menu/bar, which I did, and it worked.

I don't know about the "quick switch list."

If someone else uses this thread for help, they can probably figure it out.
