CantOpenError
Hi All,


I have my Calibre database on my NAS server (LAN) and I access it through a mapped drive from my notebook. Im in the process of cleaning up entries and adding metadata on my entires for my research papers.( mainly scanned PDF's)

I can access the library ok but when I try to edit the metadata if keep getting CantOpen Error. It allows the changes once I hit cancel.

Any thoughts on how to change my setup or address this issue. At this stage, I am principally editing the metadata not trying to access the files to read them so I'm not sure if content server would help?

Any thoughts appreciated

Rgds

Maybe this ==>> I am getting errors with my calibre library on a networked drive/NAS?.

If you always update from the same client, perhaps you could make use of the CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH Environment variable

Quote:
…allows you to specify the full path to metadata.db. Using this variable you can have metadata.db be in a location other than the library folder. Useful if your library folder is on a networked drive that does not support file locking.
