Editor save a copy doesn't work?

[eschwartz]

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but when trying to "save a copy" of the currently opened book, I get the following error message:

calibre, version 1.28.0
ERROR: Failed to save copy: Failed to save copy, click Show details for more information.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/schwartze/git/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/tweak_book/job.py", line 34, in run
    self.result = self.function(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
  File "/home/schwartze/git/calibre/src/calibre/gui2/tweak_book/boss.py", line 898, in do_save

    st = os.stat(path)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/schwartze/Documents/my-book.epub'

After selecting the Documents folder, the button says "open", (I was confused enough that I started wondering whether it was supposed to create the same filename in the selected folder) and when clicking to enter the folder I try typing in the name of the new file, then it pops up with this error.

But if I create an empty file with that name in the system file explorer first, it works.

Running from source with the latest changes as of this writing, on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Is this some sort of 'create' rights issue?

[eschwartz]

No, this is the one where it claims the file doesn't exist yet.

If I can create the file using the File Browser, then calibre should be able to as well. Besides, I tried multiple locations, including a FAT flashdrive, none worked.

And it's clearly not a Temp issue. I got it to work without touching /tmp or the temp variable.


The permissions problem was here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=235888

The OP got a different message:

calibre, version 1.27.0
ERROR: Could not save: Saving of the book failed. Click "Show Details" for more information. You can try to save a copy to a different location, via File->Save a Copy

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "site-packages\calibre\utils\filenames.py", line 452, in atomic_rename
error: (5, 'MoveFileEx', 'Access is denied.')

This one was a "No such file or directory", but only because the temp folder never wrote the exploded files for the viewer (the error message is therefore quite true, and not referring to the save-to location):

And then did you get something like attachment ?

If you didn't then then

"Invalid Attachment specified"

[BetterRed]

Fixed : I forgot that images you upload to MR cant be displayed in line

[eschwartz]

Except for this one???

The attachment link itself was invalid. And it doesn't strictly need to be inline anyway.

And the somewhat strict rules of the admin here at school block social media, including picture-sharing sites, so I still can't see it.

Sheesh - I could have sent it via Pony Express by now - I would have thought a smart fella like you would have found away around school admin rulz - or used your smartphone

Yes I was asked to replace it.

Currently we are getting ready for the Purim party, but I could've easily gone to the library and grabbed their WiFi, afterward.

I assume '/home/schwartze/Documents/my-book.epub' is the file you're trying to save - it which case the no error condition should be absence thereof not presence thereof

Where does calibre create the archive that becomes the epub - at the target location or does it create it in its temporary location and move to target? If latter it might be misreporting that something is missing from target, when in fact something is missing in temporary.

The theducks had a somewhat similar problem with Open With yesterday, one of his kb shortcuts went awry and it was reporting as

<b>WindowsError</b>:[Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Hope you're having a nice Purim; here, its tomorrow already

Thanks.

We're about done here, now.

And I haven't the foggiest idea what's going on but I'm out of ideas, so I suppose we must wait till Kovid gets here.
