Error after upgrading to 0.9.12

[Mike L]

I just updated Calibre to version 0.9.12.

Now, when I try to edit metadata, I get this error:

calibre, version 0.9.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>ZipImportError</b>:can't find module calibre.gui2.metadata

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\edit_metadata.py", line 208, in edit_metadata
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\edit_metadata.py", line 224, in do_edit_metadata
  File "site.py", line 66, in load_module
ZipImportError: can't find module calibre.gui2.metadata

This happens when I right-click on a title and choose Edit Metadata Individually.

As far as I can see, everything else is working OK. I didn't have this problem with the previous version. I am running Calibre under Windows XP.

I'd be grateful for any advice.

Mike. Look at the top line of your error message. (0.9.0)
Your update did not complete correctly.

I tried your steps on XP. Success here.
Uninstall Calibre, then install your update (you might disable your A/V for that)

Just remember to either:

1. Block All in your firewall, OR
2. physically disconnect your computer (remove incoming wire or disable wireless connection)

Do this before you disable the anti-virus as a precaution. It might not be necessary, but better safe than sorry.

Right after the install (regardless of whether it fixes the problem or not), re-engage your anti-virus, so you can return your system to normal.

Sabardeyn and Ducks,

Thank you both for your suggestions. I was just about to try them, but I see now the problem seems to have gone away.

Before un-installing and re-installing, I thought I would try it one more time. I exited Calibre, but then I noticed that the Calibre icon was still present in the System Tray. Presumably, the program stays running in the background, even after you close the user interface.

So I used the System Tray icon to quit Calibre. I then restarted it - and everything seems to be working fine now. It's also showing the correct version number in the status bar.

Thanks again for your replies. I'll keep in mind what you say about disabling the a/v for future reference.

Ctrl-Q will quit Calibre, even if it is in the tray

You say 1.7 but then show 1.5

Your log stopped while looking for fonts to embed

You might try with Heuristics OFF
(you can later try a using the same format conversion with it set on if further cleaning is needed

Quit Calibre
Reboot (to be sure no remnants) , do NOT start Calibre
Install 1.7 (get a fresh download )
Try that, you might have a corrupt install

[kovidgoyal]

Uninstall, delete C:\\Program Files\\Calibre2
(or wherever you chose to install calibre). Then re-install. And
dont worry, uninstalling will not affect your books/settings.

New thread because it is a new topic.
Tweak is good, but you are doing major editing which requires editing the OPF, possibly the NCX. Try Sigil, it IS an EPUB editing tool

[Dasha]

Thanks oneduck I will leave well enough alone, thats all a bit too far for me to Journy to I will download Sigal and have a look Thanks again Cheers Dash
