Exporting highlights to file in Viewer on Windows 10 is not working
Hello,
I am not able to export highlights to file from the Viewer on Windows 10. I am clicking Export (from bottom of Highlights panel), then Save to File. After finding the folder to save to and clicking Save, I get this error: Full file name is shown, then, 'File not found. Check the file name and try again.' It is trying to find the file name, that you are trying to create as a new file, to contain the exported highlights. This happens for all 3 formats. Copy to clipboard works. I confirmed with the plain text format, by pasting the clipboard contents into a new .txt file. The Export, Save to file used to work fine with my Windows 10 laptop, but is now not working. Thank you. |

Works fine for me on my windows 11 machine. Make sure you are using a normal folder not some virtual or networked or similar folder as the destination.

Thanks for your quick reply. I am trying to save to normal files, not virtual, networked, etc. I always get the error on my windows 10 machine now. Never got it before. The last time I saved highlights was 9/17/23 and it worked fine.
Since the error is complaining that it 'can't find the filename', I tried saving when a file of the same name actually does exist (in this case highlights.txt). In that case, I get this message: Confirm Save As. highlights.txt already exists. Do you want to replace it? Then after clicking Yes button, I get this error: Error: Unhandled exception. OSError:[Errno 69] Bad file descriptor. With the following under Show detail: calibre 6.23 embedded-python: True Windows-10-10.0.19045-SP0 Windows ('64bit', 'WindowsPE') ('Windows', '10', '10.0.19045') Python 3.10.1 Windows: ('10', '10.0.19045', 'SP0', 'Multiprocessor Free') Interface language: None Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\gui2\library\annotations.py", line 280, in save_to_file OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "calibre\gui2\library\annotations.py", line 278, in save_to_file OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor |

First of all why are you using such an outdated version of calibre, update.
