Calibre not outputting mobi from epub

comnz · 02-21-2015, 11:51 PM

I had Windows 7 for ages, Calibre worked well on it. I'm using Windows 10 now, a fresh install of that and calibre, and it's not working properly. It used to output the mobi in the same directory as the epub in the calibre library, now it's saying it's putting it into a temp directory but it's not there.

It gives me the log below, but the Mobi isn't where it says it'll be. All that's in the directory is a file called "ipc_result_1_1_h41g4x.pickle" and this log.

Can anyone suggest what's going on?

The MOBI has been added to your library... it is a very bad idea to depend on finding it in the TEMP folder, which is appropriately enough meant for applications to stick temporary runtime files that can and should disappear at any time.

calibre does the right thing and cleans up the dirty "silverware" in the TEMP folder when it is done with it. But if it didn't, the OS soon would...

Ah yes, I see my mistake... I was looking in the directory I store things, not the library. Stupid mistake, thanks
