Saving after modifying metadata

mitch13 · 08-02-2011, 02:48 AM

I have a problem that seems to have started after moving to Version 0.8.12
After editing metadata when I go to 'OK' it comes up with variations of the message below:

calibre, version 0.8.12
ERROR: Permission denied: Could not open F:\Calibre\mitchells257@gmail.com\Ancient (7865)\Ancient - mitchells257@gmail.com.azw. Is it being used by another program?

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\metadata\basic_widgets.py", line 95, in commit
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 2260, in set_title
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 622, in set_path
File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 566, in rmtree
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\recycle_bin.py", line 50, in delete_tree
File "shutil.py", line 249, in rmtree
File "shutil.py", line 247, in rmtree
WindowsError: [Error 5] Access is denied: u'F:\\Calibre\\mitchells257@gmail.com\\Ancient (7865)\\Ancient - mitchells257@gmail.com.azw'

It may be something in my operating system but have been using it for awhile. Using Windows 7 Home Premium.

Anyone else had this problem?

That is a strange error. You might want to reboot your system and try again.

Why is your email where the author should be? It still should work, I was just wondering if this was by design?

It looks like some sort of permission error. Did you check that you have write permissions for all the files in your library?
Also, AZW files may be protected by DRM. Although I'd expect a different error message then, but still, you should check that.
