Conversion Error [3, 'The system cannot find the path specified.']
Hi,
I encounter strange error lately. It is a problem with my OS or calibre itself? Error occurs when I try to convert book or change metadata. Code:
calibre, version 1.5.0 ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>error</b>:(3, 'CreateFile', 'The system cannot find the path specified.') calibre 1.5 [64bit] isfrozen: True is64bit: True Windows-8-6.2.9200 Windows ('64bit', 'WindowsPE') ('Windows', '8', '6.2.9200') Python 2.7.5 Windows: ('8', '6.2.9200', '', 'Multiprocessor Free') Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\convert\single.py", line 278, in accept File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\convert\metadata.py", line 236, in commit File "site-packages\calibre\db\legacy.py", line 465, in set_metadata File "site-packages\calibre\db\cache.py", line 56, in ans File "site-packages\calibre\db\cache.py", line 1123, in set_metadata File "site-packages\calibre\db\cache.py", line 1118, in set_field File "site-packages\calibre\db\cache.py", line 922, in set_field File "site-packages\calibre\db\backend.py", line 1347, in windows_check_if_files_in_use File "site-packages\calibre\utils\filenames.py", line 333, in __init__ error: (3, 'CreateFile', 'The system cannot find the path specified.') |

Most likely that error is caused because you have some files in your calibre library folders that have names that are too long for windows. I suggest moving your library to something like c:\library to shorten the paths.

Thanks a lot! I removed all latin extended-A signs from my path and now it work.
But I am sure that it didn't couse any error in earlier versions. |

There is a FAQ at the official site on how to move the location of TEMP if you can't just have you A/V allow Calibre* to use it |
