Export ReadonlyDB Error (MacOS)

Thena · Today, 10:39 AM

Tried to use the Export function and got error below. I checked the FAQ for the permissions issues and Calibre has full disk access and the file was not opened anywhere else.

Running on Tahoe 26.1.

Thank you in advance.

The problem is happening in the destination you are exporting to. Try picking a different destination, perhaps a folder in the same drive that contains your calibre library.
