Import not working on new PC?

kksdragons · 10-22-2019, 08:03 PM

I exported my Calibre library on my Mac to transfer the books and all my settings to my sister's PC. I received the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\exim.py", line 263, in select_import_folder
File "site-packages\calibre\utils\exim.py", line 256, in __init__
ValueError: The exported data in ._part-0001.calibre-data is not valid, version (469769983) is higher than maximum supported version. You might need to upgrade calibre first.

I am using v. 4.2 on both machines. How do I import this? I know I can copy the books to the C: drive and point Calibre to this, but that won't give me all the settings.

Help, please!

The exported data in ._part-0001.calibre-data is not valid,

Corrupt exported zip (archive) file is my guess

art-0001

That error indicates a corrupted file, try doing the transfer again. You can also manually transfer as documented inthe FAQ: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...ter-to-another

and

You were right, theducks. It was corrupted. I re-exported the library and it imported beautifully to the new PC.

Thank you both for all your help!
