HI,
My first post here.
I got the following error when converting a book from KFX to ePUB:
Spoiler:
calibre, version 7.12.0
ERROR: KFX conversion failed:
Cannot convert The Design Thinking Toolbox
Exception('This book has a layout that is incompatible with calibre conversion. For best results use either the From KFX user interface plugin or the KFX Input plugin CLI for conversion. See the KFX Input plugin documentation for more information.')
I know the KFX plugin is installed and active as well as DeDRM as I have converted other books.
I cannot see anything suspicious in the debug log:
ApplicationPaletteChange event ignored

Setting that it continues on error made it complete the conversion, but the ePUB file is much larger than the Kindle file and in the file some pages are both images of the page as well as text from the page. The book has lots of figures and it seems like the conversion fails on those.
Is there anything I can do to find out what goes wrong?
