errata: I was speaking about "save a copy" (since "save as" is not an existing action)

Ok, thank you for the explanation

Quote:
As for save as, there is a permissions problem in the path you chose for the save as, as well..
No, /data/temp/ is 777.
In fact, giving w/r permission to the original epub (and no other action) solves the case and I can "save a copy" (perms of /data/temp/ didn't change)
Code:
calibre, version 5.99.6
Copy saved: Copy saved to /data/temp/Test notes calibre.epub
That's why I presume that the permission of the destinatary dir. (w/r) is mixed up with the permission of the original file (w/o)

Anyway, not a big deal, thank you.
