Getting an "Unhandled exception" error (and more)

jenrar · 12-01-2021, 05:14 PM

Ever since I installed 5.32.0, when I try to move a book or books from one library to another, I get this error:

***************

If I restart it, the book has been moved and is gone from the library I was moving it (and deleting it) from.

If I click to edit a book, I get this message:

I click OK to exit the error message, then click OK again, and it goes through just fine with the changes I made done.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still no dice.

Please help!

You can not run (with a Library) on a Networked drive with any reliability (if at all)

https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/faq...rked-drive-nas

If it did manage to run, it can Fail or worse, CORRUPT what you have.
Move it back to a UN SYNCED folder, the switch Caliber to the new location
Right click the Library Icon: Creat Switch: Use the Previously... :<select location>

jenrar · 12-01-2021, 05:31 PM

I umm...don't understand any of that.

lol

Networked drive?

My calibre is installed locally here on my laptop. I am in the process of moving my files from OneDrive to Google Drive, but are you saying I shouldn't have my Calibre synced to a backup service like OD or GD?

theducks · 12-01-2021, 05:58 PM

Google Drive is the WORST for Calibre as it actually changes the names of folders and files as part of its history.

LOCAL DRIVE ONLY. (OK to back up a Library when Calibre is not Running) Mirror, not Sync (2-way)

jenrar · 12-01-2021, 06:02 PM

Oh, dang. lol Okay, I'll make sure to not sync up the Calibre folder automatically, then. Will just do it manually, I guess.

But what about the issues I'm having currently?

I haven't had them at all until 5.32.0!

Please see the FAQ's.

be aware that Google Drive is incompatible with calibre, if you put your calibre library in Google Drive, you will suffer data loss. See this thread for details.

Good luck

P.S.
Get you calibre library out of your onedrive folder then run library maintenance on it. Make two copies and run maintenance only on one.

jenrar · 12-01-2021, 06:50 PM

Oh, so I can't even put it in there and keep it updated manually? Damn. Maybe I'll just keep it backupped on OD...

Damn GD. lol I just am tired of OD. lol

Thanks.

Still don't know what to do about my problems! lol

Oh, will try the maintenence. Thanks.

Edit:

I have samba enabled on my router and a usb drive attached where i keep my calibre backup.

jenrar · 12-01-2021, 10:08 PM

Yup, that's what I did. *shrug* LOL

So yeah, still no answer for my problems right now.

Hmm. I don't want to use a usb drive, so I think I'll just keep using OneDrive for calibre alone, since I'll have the space anyway with my Office subscription.

USB drives are not limited to Flash/Pen. (tend to be slow)
I have USB connected Hard drives I use for alternate backup (I back documents and Library to my NAS). USB3 drives are fast (if you have USB3 ports)

For calibre libraries: there is no discernible performance difference between my external USB 3.1 drives and my SATA III internal drive - both are PDQ.
