Calibre, version 6.19.1 ERROR: Permission denied

Spoiler:

Could it be because the title of the book is too long?

The error message seems to indicate that you likely have the ebook open in another program so calibre is unable to move (copy/delete) the file to another location.

Especially PDF files. 99% of the time when I get this error its because I forgot to close the viewer.

Either the permissions on the D:\Bibliotecas\Principal\Desconocido\untitled (13618) folder are incorrect or it is open in some other program or some other program created a new file in the folder after calibre started the delete operation. calibre opens all files in the folder before starting the copy operation, to ensure that deletion will not fail. However this doesnt work for the folder itself and if any other program creates files inside the folder between the start and end of the opetration.

I am going to see if I can lock the folders as well so that this kind of error happens at the start of the operation rather than at the end, thereby not leaving things in an inconsistent state. I dont know if the windows kernel supports this, needs experimentation.
