Windows7 permission?

test011 · 01-02-2010, 05:06 AM

When I drag&drop onto calibre a book from Bean, it gives me this error. Actually this error appears with almost every prc I add. Should I do some tweaking in Windows7 for this? (I use Windows7 64bit non-US version)

Reading metadata from the prc in "Edit meta information"->Clicking the box at lower left side of "Available Fromats" pane works fine though.

Hmm that shouldn't be happening. Can you open a ticket and attach one of these PRC files.

I confirmed that this is caused by one of custom plugin.
Sorry to bother you.
