can't open calibre in window - after update to 0.4.84 - Page 2

Thanks for the response.

I couldn't find a library1.db but I did delete the metadata.db. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to have helped. I checked the debug info again and the result was the same.

Is there anything else I can try?

that error message indicates that a corrupted library1.db exists domewhere on your system. Did you try a full search?

you can bypass the migration with the following commands:

Code:

calibre-debug -c "from calibre.library.database2 import LibraryDatabase2; db = LibraryDatabase2(r'c:\path\to\library\folder'); "
calibre-debug -c "from calibre.utils.config import prefs; prefs['library_path'] = r'c:\same\path\as\before'"

Thanks for that.

I did do a full search of the drive and found a library1.db file in the intended ebook folder. I deleted this and tried again with no luck.

By using the commands you specified to bypass the migration in your last post Calibre now appears to be running correctly for me. Thanks very much for your help, I didn't expect such an amazingly quick response!
