Calibe 1.4.

Click "Edit metadata" for an existing book.
Remove all existing formats for the book (green recycle button).
Add a new format (red plus/book button).
Click "Set metadata for the book (blue info icon)".

Error:

Code:

calibre, version 1.4.0
ERROR: Permission denied: Could not open foo.epub. Is it being used by another program?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\metadata\single.py", line 341, in cover_from_format
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\metadata\basic_widgets.py", line 864, in get_selected_format_metadata
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u"foo.epub"

Click OK, OK to exit Edit metadata.

Click Edit metadata again. "Set metadata for the book (blue info icon)" is now OK.
