I've had another permission denied problem. The last time was when I was trying to run a conversion on a zip file containing an html file(s). I don't remember whether the first occurence was a zip file before adding or whether Calibre put the html in a zip, which I believe it always does.
This time the book I added was a single html file which I added to Calibre. I then went into edit meta data, downloaded meta data and a cover, update various fields and than clicked ok. That's when the permission error occurred. I tried closing Calibre and reopening but that didn't work. I tried deleting the book with Calibre and got the permission error.
I then noticed I was behind a release and updated Calibre and then it let me update the book. No other changes were made (that I know of) to the system. I didn't cancel any services or applications and I'm assuming the file that Calibre is trying to update is in the Calibre library. I know of no other applications on my system that would use the Calibre library.
I see there are points of commonality between the two occurences. Both were with zip files and both contained html. In one I was trying to run a conversion and in the other I was trying to edit the meta data.
Another point in common is that in both instances I had been updating several books before the problem occurred. It's never happened right away.
The messages that are issued, which I stupidly forgot to save, don't point to another application or service that I can see.
I notice that in the Calibre folder for the book in question there is a metadata.opf file. Is that the file that Calibre updates when changing the meta data? If so, the next time this happens I'll use windows explorer to check out the attributes. Even if I discover it's read only, I won't know who it became that way.
Here's something interesting. When I was having the trouble I tried changing the name of the book in the edit meta data window. When I clicked ok, I still got the error but I've just now noticed there is an empty folder the Calibre libary with the new name I gave the book. It created this folder even though the update of the meta data was unsuccessful. That new name doesn't show up in the list of books in Calibre. I presume I can just manually delete it?
