Autoimport broken?

Hi,

all this on windows 7 x64:

I enabled auto import and it worked. afterwards, I changed some options (auto convert to AZW and EPUB), deleted the imported book from the folder and from calibre and re-added it to the watched folder. From there on, the autoimport stopped working completely, even for books calibre has never seen before.

what can we do?

Check your settings. Use the restore defaults button to get back to the default settings and change them one by one till you discover the setting causing the problem.

that's a bit drastic, what setting can be wrong on a screen where you choose a directory and press OK? do you need a log to debug what's happening?

do you have any other program (including calibre's, save to folder) that might be 'connecting' to that folder, thus blocking read-delete rights?

Not that I'm aware of, I'm connected to another folder within calibre and although I monitor some folders with another software not that particular one. I also can open the folder in explorer and can delete files in it..

one oddity I see is, that, after you change the auto-import option, you get asked to restart calibre. this is not possible, when you click restart, the tray icon get's unresponsive (no menu) and I need to kill the process in the task manager. shutting down calibre via the tray icon menu and restarting by hand is possible..

Ok, I did what kovidgoyal asked and, as described in my very first post in this thread, this is when the bug pops up:

1. start calibre (virgin if you must)
2. enable automimport, set it to a folder of you choice
3. restart calibre, autoimport works
4. go to preferences|add books and enable some conversions (here epub, mobi)
5. restart calibre, autoimport stops working
