Importing file issue.

Hi Everyone,

I have exported my data when I changed my laptop and I am now trying to import them.
Once I select the folder where the CALIBRE-DATA Files are stored, I get an error message while the importing process is running. As per screenshot, the error messag says: The folder "xxx" is not valid: The last part of this exported data set is missing.

Now, there were a lot of books, with a categorization that took long, and many notes also written. It would be very annoying to miss all that work done, is there a way to fix the issue? There are 6 parts in this folder which I assume contain most of my previous e-pubs, even if I could get all of those, that would be fine. Isn't there a file that can be added in the folder so to complete the data set? Is there a solution for this?

Thank you,
Nick

Onedrive is a Networked drive (and it has additional features that really do not play well with Calibre).

Mostly Fine to keep a Backup there, but never the Working Library
Note: Anything that changes ANYTHING inside the Library folder can (and usually will) cause issues. The DB contains the EXACT path to the book.

It's not the Library folder that calibre is complaining about, it's the Export folder.

Please click that Copy to clipboard button and post the results here.

If you can, redo the export to a portable drive, rather than a network drive.

To do it manually see the Note in ==>> How do I move my calibre data from one computer to another?

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Here is the requested copy and paste:

calibre, version 7.15.0
ERROR: Not valid: The folder C:\Users\nicho\Personal Documents\Files Storage\Calibre Data\OneDrive-2024-01-10 is not valid: The last part of this exported data set is missing

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\exim.py", line 280, in select_import_folder
File "calibre\utils\exim.py", line 392, in __init__
ValueError: The last part of this exported data set is missing


I cannot export again my files, that was my export. I don't have the actual files anymore, just those calibre files for which there seems to be 1 missing.

One of the exported files is missing, without that the export cannot be imported.

Thank you kovid. Is there a way to proceed regardless, maybe by making up a fake last file, just to give the system the missing one? Even if it's empty... Apologies if this doesn't make sense, I read a lot but I am no programmer.
