Calibre error message when opening title
Hi,
When I double-click on a title in Calibre, I get a popup error message with the following info. Can anyone suggest a solution? Using Windows XP, version 0.7.38 of Calibre. TIA, Duncan ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>WindowsError</b>:[Error 1155] No application is associated with the specified file for this operation: 'c:\\docume~1\\admini~1\\locals~1\\temp\\calibre_0 .7.38_tmp_drrfww\\calibre_0.7.38_vzwcd1_viewer_' Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\__init__.py", line 302, in dispatch File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\view.py", line 57, in book_downloaded_for_viewing File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\view.py", line 80, in _view_file File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\view.py", line 71, in _launch_viewer File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\__init__.py", line 668, in open_local_file WindowsError: [Error 1155] No application is associated with the specified file for this operation: 'c:\\docume~1\\admini~1\\locals~1\\temp\\calibre_0 .7.38_tmp_drrfww\\calibre_0.7.38_vzwcd1_viewer_' |

Hi,
Any of the free book files that came on the Kobo. I saved one to disk and it looks like it saves as a file with a Windows ID for filename and no file extension/type, so I can see why the error now. Opened with a hex viewer and found a mimetype string saying epub+zip so I opened with 7zip. Is there a file extension that will tell Calibre how to handle these so I can save and rename? Awesome application by the way, although I've just started using it. Thanks. Duncan |

IIRC the kobo uses a special format for its free books, but I don;t remember the details, you'll get more help in the Kobo forum.
