Adding books Error
When I try to move a book into calibre I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 127, in start File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 221, in add File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 234, in add_formats File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 1348, in add_format File "shutil.py", line 48, in copyfileobj IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument Any ideas? |

I had tried LIT, TXT and PDF by using the Add Books icon and by dragging the file in. I ran calibre in debug mode tried dragging and adding using the add book icon. Both times I recieved the following:
Failed to read the metadata from the following: Alex Delaware 06 - Private Eyes.lit Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 127, in start File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 221, in add File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\add.py", line 234, in add_formats File "site-packages\calibre\library\database2.py", line 1348, in add_format File "shutil.py", line 48, in copyfileobj IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument |

That can happen on some windows systems due to filename encoding issues. Make sure the files you are trying to add do not have special characters in their names or in the paths leading up to them.
