IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

Anyone getting this error?

I'm getting this when i'm trying to update the title/author name. This only happens to some of my books. When this happened, i tried to open the pdf file, it failed to open with pdfXchange or failed to rename as it is "opened" by another program.

ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>IOError</b>:[Errno 22] Invalid argument

Traceback (most recent call last):

this will be probably because the title of the book contains some characters that are invalid in a filename. calibre tries to remove all such characters, but...

What is the title, both the old one and the new one you are changing to.

No it is not

The greaterthan sign is "output redirection" in DOS and Linux
