Calibre cannot see Kindle 3

[MrAdequate]

Okay so, much weirdness Calibre (latest version) cannot see my Kindle at all

Running windows, tried reinstalling calibre and resetting kindle to no avail.

Running debug device gives an error :

 TypeError:object of type 'int' has no len()

The debug for this is :

 ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:object of type 'int' has no len()

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\preferences\device_debug.py", line 41, in debug
  File "site-packages\calibre\devices\__init__.py", line 106, in debug
  File "site-packages\calibre\devices\scanner.py", line 164, in is_device_connected

  File "site-packages\calibre\devices\interface.py", line 74, in test_bcd_windows
TypeError: object of type 'int' has no len()

Windows can see the device and it's coming up fine as a USB drive.

Looks like a bug. Open a ticket and include the debug output.

Try disabling the folder device plugin (preferences / plugins / device plugins / folder device)

Thanks chaley, that worked perfectly, the debug started working so i just re-ran the wizard and bingo! Glad to be rid of my ageing linux laptop again for this particular task as 1024x768 isn't exactly ideal for calibre.

Do you think i should still report a bug?

Apologies for my complete lack of python skill.

No need. I have already fixed the problem. The fix should be in the next release.

And you are welcome.
