calibredb add problem
Updated this morning to version 2.5

used:

calibredb add **/*epub


got this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site.py", line 51, in main
File "site-packages/calibre/library/cli.py", line 1550, in main

IOError: [Errno 13] Toegang geweigerd: u'/media/big4/books/calibre_test_case_sensitivity.txt'


anybody know how I can fix this?

that pattern looks just weird to me

(I don't normally use calibres CLI)

The epub on the end ? shouldn't that be *.epub (assumes you only want epub)
Does calibredb do file/folder (wildcard) recursion?

No, I don't think it does. The one time I used calibredb to do a mass import, I made a big batch file with 'calibredb add'-commands using a Total Commander plugin.

filename globbing is handled by the shell. (and will match the . in .epub, but usually we try to be more specific. )

And globbing will not recurse directories with the double-star, unless you activate
Code:
shopt -s globstar

just because I started using Unix back in 78, UTS in 88, Linux in 2008 does not indicate that I scratched the surface of the power of the Penguin
