Change Location of Library Following Installation

raczyk · 02-12-2012, 03:37 PM

Hi Folks,

First post here, Hi! Discovered this great software, and learning the ropes at the moment. Where would I change where the folder of the Calibri library? Is there any files I'd have to move manually?

Cheers,

Quit Calibre
With Windows Explorer (or equivalent) , Move the entire Library folder (the one that contains metadata.db) to its new home.
Now start Calibre (you might get a warning)
Right-click the Library icon inside Calibre: Create/Switch: point to the new home
