Converting epub to docx: file disappears
Hi,
I hope this is the right place to ask this. I am trying to convert an epub to docx using the Calibre management app. The job finishes with the output below, which seems successful, but the docx file has only existed for a second and disappeared. I managed to make a copy before it was deleted, but it is corrupt and I cannot open it (I have no way to know if it is corrupt because it was not completely built or if it was still corrupt exactly before it was autodeleted). Since the log does not report any error, it is difficult to know what is going on. The same happens if I choose PDF format as the output. Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong? It is calibre 4.23 64bit on Windows 10. Output: Spoiler:

The docx file is added to the book, if you want to access it in the filesystem press the O key after the conversion completes.

After conversion the DOCX should show up as a Format in the Book Details panel (right sidebar) if you click it then it should open up in whatever you have set as the DOCX handler (Word, Writer etc).
Or press Alt+V and select the DOCX. Added: where is the library, if it is in a Controlled folder, such as Documents, you may be running into MS Defender's Ransomware protection feature, see ==>> Enable or Disable Controlled Folder Access in Windows 10 | Tutorials BR Last edited by BetterRed; 08-31-2020 at 05:09 PM. |
