Problem with Import/Export
I have been using the import/export function of Calibre since it was introduced and it has always worked flawlessly. However whilst the Export works fine the Import has now developed a fault.
When the Import is finished I get an error message "Unable to build library at requested destination, choose another destination" Not the exact wording but fairly close. However I am unable to choose a new destination. It appears to me (with very limited technical knowledge) that the import is trying to build a library at the export site. Despite the error message the library does build but with issues. calibre, version 4.3.0 ERROR: Failed to create library: Failed to create calibre library at: u'/Users/svhills/Calibre/Main Library'. You will be asked to choose a new library location. Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\main.py", line 161, in get_library_path File "os.py", line 150, in makedirs File "os.py", line 150, in makedirs File "os.py", line 157, in makedirs WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: u'/Users/svhills' I am exporting from my library on a Mac running Catalina 10.5.2. I have attempted to import on to several windows computers. I reiterate that this process has worked flawlessly in the past. Any assistance would be appreciated. |

In the import dialog specify a path for each library, somewhere inside your windows user account folders.
