Save to disk error

Gfinch · 08-04-2008, 11:02 PM

I get this error when saving to disk. I eliminated on book thinking that it was a problem with that one book but apparently it is on more than one.

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'E:/Calibre Sony Backup\\Stasheff; Christopher\\A Wizard In Mind _ The First Chronicle of Magnus D_Armand, Rogue Wizard (Chronicles of the Rogue Wizard)\\Stasheff; Christopher - A Wizard In Mind _ The First Chronicle of Magnus D_Armand, Rogue Wizard (Chronicles of the Rogue Wizard)_467.jpg'
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 711, in save_to_disk
File "calibre\gui2\library.pyo", line 156, in save_to_disk
File "calibre\library\database.pyo", line 1408, in export_to_dir
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'E:/Calibre Sony Backup\\Stasheff; Christopher\\A Wizard In Mind _ The First Chronicle of Magnus D_Armand, Rogue Wizard (Chronicles of the Rogue Wizard)\\Stasheff; Christopher - A Wizard In Mind _ The First Chronicle of Magnus D_Armand, Rogue Wizard (Chronicles of the Rogue Wizard)_467.jpg'

Any suggestions?

Also I am amazed

I have never seen anyone or or any program developer respond to a bug report in under twelve hours.

If that was the way it was with every developer we would already live in a utopia.

Thanks, as always.

What file system does E: drive have. Looks like that path is too long for it.

The file path was

E:\Calibre Sony Backup

and then the sub-directories that Calibre wrote. So then it would be one more directory for author and another one for each title.

Should I shorten the directory name?

You can try the "save to disk in single directory" option (click the arrow next to the save to disk button).

I shortened excessively long titles and attempted to backup to a single directory and got this error twice.

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Where is the database file located and maybe as a temporary solution I can just back that file up to my external drive. E:\ is an external drive 1TB if that makes any difference.

click the config button (hammer next to serch box) it will tell you where the database is located.

that error is caused by saving books that have no available formats. it will be fixed in the next release.
