Error message: The file did not exist when this move operation was started
Hi,
since Calibre 0.9.4 I get an error message when trying to change book data like title, author, etc or when trying to convert a book to a different format. I get always the same error: calibre, version 0.9.5 FEHLER: Nicht abgefangener Fehler: <b>ValueError</b>:The file u'path_to_ebook' did not exist when this move operation was started Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\convert\single.py", line 255, in accept File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\convert\metadata.py", line 232, in commit File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 2283, in set_metadata File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 665, in set_path File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 1519, in add_format File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 1377, in copy_format_to File "site-packages\calibre\utils\filenames.py", line 307, in copy_path_to ValueError: The file u'path_to_ebook' did not exist when this move operation was started I have no idea how to deal with this error, is there somebody who can help me? I'm using Calibre 0.9.5 on Windows 7. cu Sternchen |

Go to Preferences->plugins and disable any third party plugins you have installed, then restart calibre.

Thankyou very much for your reply. Unfortunately that didn't help.

Thankyou again for your kind support.
I tried what you said, but it didn't help. I have a couple of libraries and the error happens in all of them, even in a library with only 6 books. cu Sternchen |

Then I'm at a loss. The string 'path to book' does not exist in the calibre source code and if you did a library restore, then it should not exist in the library either, so I have no clue where it is coming from.

Do you have your calibre library on a network drive? If so, move it off.

Ok, that helped.
But what can I do to use my library on a network drive? It worked with the Calibre versions before 0.9.4. Should I go back to an earlier version? Or will this behaviour be changed in a future release? Anything else I can do? cu Sternchen |

Running calibre on networked drives has never been officially supported. http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq....rked-drive-nas

I just wanted to chime in and say I've been having the same exact errors recently. I can add a book to calibre, but anytime I edit the metadata and hit 'ok' I get the above error.
I also read the FAQ when I started and decided to give the NAS storage a shot anyway. I have been keeping my database and back up books on my Synology NAS and it has been working wonderfully for the past year. Then around 9.2 or 9.3 I started getting this error. I understand that network file systems are a different beast but at some point this was working for me. eg. I add a book by other Bob Smith. -> Calibre creates a folder called Bob Smith with my book, the cover and metadata inside it. If I then edit the metadata for this book to say, Smith, Bob -> Calibre gives me the error - BUT - it creates an empty folder called Smith, Bob while leaving the folder Bob Smith. This seems to be new behavior because it used to work fine. Should I downgrade a few versions? I really have no use for a library that's not on a NAS. here's the actual error: calibre, version 0.9.7 ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>error</b>3, 'CreateFile', 'The system cannot find the path specified.') Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\metadata\single.py", line 472, in accept File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\metadata\single.py", line 445, in apply_changes File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\metadata\basic_widgets.py", line 274, in commit File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 2507, in set_authors File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 2494, in windows_check_if_files_in_use File "site-packages\calibre\utils\filenames.py", line 290, in __init__ error: (3, 'CreateFile', 'The system cannot find the path specified.') |

Your NAS is being NASty
and not being (instantly) available all the time. 1) Don't use a NAS. 2) If you do, Don't complain here about filesystem errors The big guy said they were trouble. |

Or... keep the database local and use one of the data replication tools to copy it to the NAS for backup purposes.
I for one use Always Sync for that purpose. |
