Transfer data between two libraries? - Anatolis - 03-19-2024
Hi!
First the pleasantries ;-) Thank you for the great application. I'm using it with a lot of joy on my Boox Tab X. Even with so much joy that my single library is getting a bit big. I'm loosing a bit oversight between the different orchestra's I'm playing in so now that I learned I can actually have multiple libraries on the same machine I thought of splitting the data up.
Of course I want to keep all my notes and adjustments.
I thought the easiest way would be:
(using Companion 3.2.0, TabX Black-White version 3.8.31)
+ Create a backup of my Default (large) library with the Companion
+ Create a new library on my device
+ Switch library on my device
+ Import backup in my new library
+ Delete all content in the new library that I will only keep in my default library.
However, the backup is restored to the the Default library even though I did not have it active. Plan failed
On one hand logical, on the other hand... not what I hoped.
Is there a smart way of migrating content from library to the other while preserving my annotations?
(hence, when I would just re-import the my sheet music, the notations will be gone)
Any hints would be more then welcome :-)
Anatolis
Ps. and no, I don't want to hex-edit my way through the backup to try to hack my way around ;-p

You need to uncheck the option to restore settings when restoring the backup. Then it should restore into whatever the active library is. Just note that, at the moment, storage is shared between all of the libraries.

Perfect! I did not realize that keeping the settings would move the restore always to the default database.
So confirmed working!
And thanks for the warning about the shared file resources. I consider myself warned to leave the files in place to not corrupt my initial library
