This was the history:
NEW: Added a dialog "Portable Library" to allow setting up the filename conversions needed between Windows, Mac, and Linux.
If you find areas that still need help when using the tool, just let us know. Thanks.

Hi Matt here's one after having done all steps above..Most of if works except for a few exceptions:
The restored Windows library is like this for a folder name such as /ALAC/Francine Raymond/- Presents du Passe/
But Linux re-imports the file as ALAC/Francine Raymond/ - Presents du Passe/
(Which is actually like this when looking at the folder structure in Linux but...)
Even if I manually try to change the filename (path) manually in the library it won't work.
The RM&C tool with an update doesn't work either no matter what I try...
EDIT: And it looks like files with French accents in the filename can't be found and played... They're also missing from the import
It's not it as I have other ones so it's something else I'll investigate and post back...

I have been unable to do it... Its like they made it as convulsed as possible or they have design issues preventing a streamlined solution???

I got it!!! just add a Portable Library entry mine was D:|/media/jamesecox50/U32 Shadow/ then just import your Library from your original .zip lib backup.
