Why is my Papers 3 library folder size smaller than the Papers 2 library folder? When you import your Papers2 library to Papers3, it doesn't copy spotlight index, thumbnails or OCR output from the Papers2 folder (they are recreated on each of the devices), so it completely expected that the library folder size is reduced. How to Import Your eBook Library. You exported your library. Now, to restore your library after a loss or move it to your new computer, you need to import it: First, go to “Calibre library Export/Import all calibre data” once again. This time select “Import previously exported data”. Then, find the source folder of your backup. In the Apple TV app on your Mac, click Library at the top of the window. In the sidebar, click the arrow next to Library, then select a family member’s library. For more information, see View other family members’ purchases in the Apple TV app on Mac.
I am ready to write a script if needed but inside iphoto directory, here are many directories and I don't know how to select the edited pictures from the albums I want to export.
Thanks in advance!

How to Backup, Move and Export Your Library in Calibre
Have you ever lost your files? Crashing hard drives and accidental deletions teach us that there are two kinds of people: those who backup their files and those that will start to backup their files. Thankfully, calibre comes with tools to do just that – quickly and easily. That way you won’t lose your collection the next time your laptop crashes.
How to Export Your eBook Library
If you want to prepare for a disaster or just move your collection to your new device, make a backup. To export your calibre library:
- First, click on the “[your library name]” button on the main screen and select “Export/Import all calibre data”.
- Then, choose “Export all your calibre data”.
- In the dialog box select the library you want to export and click “OK”.
- Finally, select the folder where you want to save your backup in.
This process will create a series of 1 GB-large files with your whole library. You can then save it on a backup drive, burn them to DVDs or just stash them away somewhere safe.

How to Move Your eBook Library
Papers3 For Mac Export Library
Say you have two hard drives and the one that has your collection on it is getting full. You decided to move it to another drive. To move your library to another location:
- First, click on your library’s name and select “Switch/create library…”
- On the next screen select the new path for your library and click the option to “Move current library to new location”.
- Finally, confirm by clicking “OK”.
Now your library is in the new location!
Cloud Services Are Another Option
If you want to access your library from any location and keep an additional backup, but for some reason do not want to use calibre’s server option, you can add your library to the cloud service you use (e.g. Dropbox or OneDrive).To do this, you must either move your library to your cloud service location on your device (e.g. your Dropbox folder) or add the library’s folder to be synced in the cloud’s settings. Just remember that if you do that, the cloud service provider will have access to your library. Note that there are also some 3rd party tools to help calibre and cloud services cooperate.Important note: using cloud services with calibre is risky and may lead to data loss. It is known that Google Drive is not compatible with calibre. Use those services at your own risk and always make a backup.To minimize this risk, synchronize your library with only one cloud service and only when calibre is turned off. Read more in the manual.So, there you have it – the basics of staying safe with calibre.
