Import Date - Auto import

ljunkie · 09-12-2012, 09:24 PM

I have to say, the auto import feature is great. I have one issue so far.

The date being set is as Dec 1989. I was hoping it would set the date as the current time, so new books would be listed. Published date is being set correctly.

Just realized after I did some updates, that my system time was off.. bad cmos. So the dates are corrected (error on my part).

I do have another problem. It seems the watch folder is only being scanned when i start. If I move files into it after the program has started, it does not process them. It will pick up any files moved into the scan directory when I restart calibre, but again will not process any new files.

Resolved. It could have been two things.

1) It might require the python-inotify package?
$ sudo yum -y install python-inotify

2) Permissions:

The original import directory was a NFS share, bind mount with read/write access only to that directory.

I.E. /nfs/books/imports

I noticed calibre hadn an error trying to access the trash. SError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/nfs/books/.Trash-1000' - which is right. It's read only except for the imports dir.

I decided to skip using nfs/bind mount since the import dir only houses books temporarily. Used a local import dir and haven't had any issue now.
