Error: Unhandled exception

[joxybear]

Hello! I had my PC re-formatted so I downloaded Calibre again. Now I get an error whenever I try to click on anything within the app.Help, this is all new to me.

The error is this -

ERROR: Unhandled exception
OSError:{Errno 22} Invalid argument

This is what I have when I click on "show details"

calibre, version 7.8.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>OSError</b>:[Errno 22] Invalid argument

If I remember correctly, that is either a permissions error (where is your calibre library located, is it being synced by OneDrive, etc.) or it is invalid characters in the file path (generally, I've seen this when attempting to use Windows to access a non-Windows storage device).

Yes, my Calibre library has always been in my OneDrive. This is the first time I got this error though. Should I move my library to my local drive instead to get rid of the error?

Definitely yes. A calibre library on a network/cloud storage is a dancing bear. You might want to check the Pause Full text indexing thread starting around message #6.

Ok, thank you! I will check that thread. I appreciate the help!
