i thought it might be something like that. I tried to reproduce it but there's an ageing factor involved. simply trying open in editor save, ccleaner, view works fine. I guess waht has happen is this.
1. calibre runs/sleeps for several days without ever a full shut down.
2. ccleaner runs & applies it's logic to delect "safe-to-delete" + "temporary file" which is probably restricted to files that are > x days old.
so to reproduce it ( without messing with PC system date/time) I'd have to run calibre in tray for a week, then run ccleaner, then try to View something. Connecting an e-reader is probably not relevent if this diagnosis is correct.
if i remember I'll check this out next week.
but a couple of comments.
1. it's a scary & generic error message ( generic because I can google the error text & see it reported for other apps). scary, because 1st thought on seeing it is oh S***T I've accidentally deleted the book!
2. could calibre not trap it, realize it needs a new temp file & simply make one; or if that's not possible then put up a message saying calibre has encountered an error & needs to close, please restart it. { I hate seeing those in games but here, it's what's needed]
3. ccleaner has an exclude function. can I use that to prevent this error , but still have it clean up the calibre .tmp files that get moaned about it other threads ? what is the specific file / folder to exclude ?
