Importing a .docx file into Calibre.

nlangela · 01-20-2021, 06:57 AM

Hello.
I'm trying to import a word-file into Calibre, last version, and get this message:

calibre, version 5.8.1
FEIL: Cannot add books: Failed to add any books, click "Show details" for more information.

Worker process crashed while sending common data
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\utils\ipc\pool.py", line 253, in handle_event
File "calibre\utils\ipc\pool.py", line 118, in set_common_data

File "multiprocessing\connection.py", line 200, in send_bytes
File "multiprocessing\connection.py", line 280, in _send_bytes
BrokenPipeError: [WinError 232] Datakanalen lukkes

I'm running Windows 10

I'm grateful for any help.

The latest version of calibre is 5.9.

Importing DOCX is working for me, pretty sure it was working in 5.8.1 as well. Have you tried a different DOCX, e.g. Kovid's DOCX demo ==>> demo .docx file

this is almost certinly something interfering with calibre's worker process, most likely an antivirus/security program. Reboot in safe mode to check.
