Trouble Saving in Ebook-Edit
I am having difficulty saving ePubs after editing them. The error message I get is:
Code:
calibre, version 1.27.0 ERROR: Could not save: Saving of the book failed. Click "Show Details" for more information. You can try to save a copy to a different location, via File->Save a Copy Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\tweak_book\save.py", line 145, in process_save File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\tweak_book\save.py", line 155, in do_save File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\tweak_book\save.py", line 29, in save_container File "site-packages\calibre\utils\filenames.py", line 452, in atomic_rename error: (5, 'MoveFileEx', 'Access is denied.') I am tweaking books produced in InDesign, and am not using Calibre's library function. I have dropped the epub file on a shortcut to ebook-edit.exe, used the "Open With" dialogue box from the Windows shell, selecting that same executable, and used the Open Book from inside the program as well. I was able to save books yesterday. The files are in a folder on the desktop, and I am using Windows 7. Any help would be appreciated! |

@Friar - Looks a bit like a Permissions issue, maybe in the Temp folder
Try solution in post #2 in this thread ==>> https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=235429 BR |

@Kovid, I'm not convinced.
The default temp folder is shared by many applications, browsers, photo editors, Lightroom, Breeze, Sigil, Acrobat etc. I've not noticed any similar problems in the forums for those applications or in the major Windows 7 forums. I use a photo library package that has similarities to calibre, MySql database for metadata, metadata embedded in images, metadata sidecar files, folder creation, rename, move etc. It writes lots of folders and files to the Temp folder for searches, edits, resizes etc. It's not as 'good' as calibre is at removing things from Temp - i.e stuff is left lying around, but Disk Cleanup takes care of that. It is Windows only, it doesn't spawn worker processes, although it is it is multi-threaded. Its a bespoke program written in C++. I fixed a friends PC recently, it had MSE, McAfee, and NOD32 installed and running! The machine ran like a dog, e.g. 20 minutes to shut down - none of the three excluded anything except some System/Hidden folders like System Volume Information. According to the owner calibre wasn't as significantly effected performance-wise as were some other programs, like browsers and Lightroom. Before I removed the unwanted Security Suites (McAfee & NOD32) I ran calibre, did a couple of conversions, used the reader and downloaded some metadata - no problems, calibre was sluggish but nowhere near as bad as firefox and Lightroom. BR The extra security suites were installed by a someone from ANU Admin! |

As far as I can see, the only user name on my Temp folder that doesn't have full permissions is "Users". I vaguely remember something from somewhere (Linux?) where I would have to edit the shortcut to run a program as Admin (or "Sudo"). Could it be something similar here? Could Calibre be running, not under the user I am signed in as (Admin account), but as a guest user or something?
Also, for security I am running Advast. If it helps, when I try to run Regex in the toc.ncx file I get this error. Quote:
**EDIT** Turns out the error comes from using (?sU) to get non-greedy mode. If I use .*?, it works fine. Last edited by Friar; 03-21-2014 at 09:34 PM. Reason: more info |
