Autoimport not working, 7.6 win 11
Not sure if this is Win 11 update issue, but my auto import folder is not picking up files.
I've tried switching to another folder, changin names, and just realized when I past 5 files only one gets autoimported, the rest are left behind. Restarting Calibre doesn't change a thing. The only way to import another file is to move them out of the folder and paste them back into it again. One file get's imported again. My calibre library is not in a cloud drive. Sometime ago, something happened and all my Calibre settings were reset to default. So maybe this has something to do with autoimport as well. Dunno. |

run calibre in debug mode and post the log when auto import fails.

It seems it was connected to filename length. I've tried 5 different short named files and autoimport worked. When the long one came, it would halt the import process altogether.

I was looking at your log files and it appears you are obtaining books from LibGen which is a rather well know pirate site.
As for your file name length issue, you might want to try moving your calibre autoimport directory closer to the root of the drive and with a shorter name. Your ebook name is 232 characters without the path which is pushing the 260 character max path length. You could also try setting your Windows to allow longer paths. See How to Make Windows 10 Accept File Paths Over 260 Characters for some how to information. A caveat is that I have never tried this with calibre so I'm not sure if calibre is able to use the longer paths. |

I've found on my test box that about 60% of programs are happy with the long paths and the other 40% either ignore them or abend.

Out of the box, Windows 11 is limited to 260 max characters in the path/filename. Enabling long file names expands this but not all programs support it and it appears that calibre does not. Last edited by DNSB; 03-13-2024 at 04:52 PM. |
