Hi all -
I have searched threads and just can't seem to find the answer. Been using Calibre a very long time but don't "tweak" it much. A few months back, I suddenly started getting the following error when attempting to create a current .CSV Catalog for my library:

calibre, version 8.0.1 (win32, embedded-python: True)
Conversion error: Failed: Generate catalog

Generate catalog
Catalog_CSV_XML('Calibre Library-Brian'): Generating CSV

Book count: 7709
Fields: ondevice,authors,title,series,series_index,formats ,rating,tags,size,author_sort,timestamp

I have gone to the Temp folder and made sure it was not read only or hidden and have deleted the files out of it, didn't help. Also tried the debug mode, and didn't work as well as restarted without plugins.
Any advice to get around this?

I was able to get it to work on a 2nd computer with a fresh install, but now that computer is giving the same error.

I have been using the Calibre portable and keep my library on a 32gb stick.

Thank you for any help!
