I ran into an issue when using FanFicFare to update a story that had a data folder.
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):

PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\data'
Neither book nor folder was open. Windows' indexing is outright disabled, but I used Everything to search for the book earlier. (There were no open file handles when I checked though.)
Additionally, the system32 folder is a bit weird. I don't think is a data folder in there.
The FanFicFare author is equally baffled:

 That's Calibre code and the 'data' dir is a Calibre feature. Kovid has decided Calibre needs to be a lot more assertive about windows file locking. I don't know enough about it to say whether he's correct or not.
After the third time I bumped into the problem I reported I went back to Calibre v6.19.1. I was seeing it happen with file explorer 'Quick access', not just searches.
I haven't done anything with data directories, but judging by the system32 directory, I would suspect it's something somewhere looking for a relative 'data' without a full path. |
