Problem with export library
I have bought a new laptop so I am trying to export my library. I am having a problem, I do the export then when it ends I get this message. As I am a complete noob when it comes to computer language this all means nothing to me so I am looking for some advice and maybe someone who can translate the lingo
 thanks in advance calibre, version 4.2.0 ERROR: Failed: Failed to export data. Click "Show Details" for more information. Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\exim.py", line 140, in run_action File "site-packages\calibre\utils\exim.py", line 195, in export File "site-packages\calibre\db\cache.py", line 62, in call_func_with_lock File "site-packages\calibre\db\cache.py", line 2240, in export_library File "site-packages\calibre\db\cache.py", line 742, in copy_format_to File "site-packages\calibre\db\backend.py", line 1487, in copy_format_to File "shutil.py", line 63, in copyfileobj IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied |

It indicates you dont have permission to create files in whatever place you have chosen to export the data to.

reboot in safe mode then try again, most likely some program on your computer is interfering, probably an antivirus.

Possibly in Win 10 you have Controled Folder Access turned on
