IOError - No such file or directory

[SkyDream]

After upgrading to 0.7.27 i'm sometimes getting a strange error when trying to open a book in ePub format. After adding there's no cover shown as usual for this periodical. When trying to open ePub format i'm getting "(2, No such file or directory).

Traceback shows :

ERROR: Konnte eBook nicht öffnen: (2, 'No such file or directory')

When i look at c:\documents\...\OEBPS\ the mentioned file is indeed missing. Comparing the number of files with the number found when open the epub with a zipper program there are 27 files (the last 27 files) missing in the extracted temp directory.

Known problem ?
Is there a fix or do i need to downgrade ?

Thx.

Thx.

can you extract those files with a zipper program maybe the epub file is corrupted so the files are not extracting.

[SkyDream]

thx, but i extracted the files and can even read the file in question.
It seems the ePub file itself is ok.

[kovidgoyal]

This is most likely caused by the epub file using non ascii characters in the zipfile and not specifying the character encoding for them. calibre tires to guess in this case, it sometimes guesses wrong.

Hard to say more without looking at the file.

I'm not allowed to upload the periodical but i can post the list of file names of the unzipped epub if this helps.

Ok, tried to open the epub with Sigil and got a similiar error.
Going to ask the publisher for a better version of the epub.

[SkyDream]

The ePub in question contains a file with a very long file name (169 chars).
This seems to be the problem. I renamed the file and all references, created a new ePub and it worked.

I had yesterday the same error. Funny enough, on another computer (older version of Calibre is installed there) it is working as always. don't know whether the problem is now related to Calibre or something on my computer?
