Database Restore not working
Hello all,
in the newest version 7.0 I can't seem to restore any database from backup. I get this error. calibre, version 7.0.0 ERROR: Failed: Restoring database failed, click "Show details" to see details Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\db\restore.py", line 157, in run File "calibre\db\restore.py", line 296, in restore_books File "shutil.py", line 561, in copytree File "shutil.py", line 459, in _copytree File "os.py", line 225, in makedirs FileExistsError: [WinError 183] Cannot create a file when that file already exists: 'C:\\Users\\iondream\\vv02dv4s_rlib\\.calnotes' Has anyone else seen this? worth noting is that when I run from the latest source from github instead it all works fine. I could not find an issue for this however, so I wanted to make sure it was known. Thanks, iondream |

Open Import etc. Before last step open the Calibre library destination in a File manager/ Explore/finder and make sure hidden files are shown.
Delete everything. Now click on Calibre GUI. The restore folder must be empty, but it has .calnotes in it. Note: You don't say which OS, but maybe Windows? Mac & Linux by default don't show any file or folder starting with a period/dot, .<anyname> |

C:\Users\iondream\vv02dv4s_rlib\.calnotes I assume this is dynamically generated. There is a .calnotes file, but moving it out of the dir has no effect. |
