Book Links

I understand that switching to web will break all my links to my ebooks. I don’t use the links to access the books so that is not a problem but I would like to retain the path information in a text field so I can know where the books are on my computer. Is that possible?

File links is not something you can transfer to another field - so your only way would be to copy the path, and put it in notes, manually, one by one - which I assume will be way too much work. I’m sorry to say I can’t really think of a workaround here to do it automatically.

Correct, with over 1100 books I don’t see that as a solution. What I’m really after is a way select the folder I have already added to my collection and have it add just the books not in my collection without having it ask me.

Via menu Edit > Add Book Files and scanning your harddrive for book files you can check this box:

“Hide linked files”

This will hide all ebook files it finds that are already in a path for your books.
