Calibredb add after ebook-convert fails
I am converting a recipe to epub using ebook-convert. When it is finished I am trying to add the epub to the database but I keep getting errors
Code:
Output saved to /home/scott/calibre/star.epub scott@ubuntu:~/calibre$ calibredb add -d star.epub Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/init.py", line 48, in <module> File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/cli.py", line 729, in main File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/cli.py", line 364, in command_add File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/cli.py", line 129, in get_db File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/startup.py", line 81, in my_abspath File "/usr/lib/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 337, in abspath if not isabs(path): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/posixpath.py", line 52, in isabs return s.startswith('/') AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith' |

is there a config file that can be edited so that the path doesn't need to be entered in every time? Also the --library-path option is not listed in the --help.

Run the GUI once and the library path will be set.

well run the gui on a another computer and copy over the config files. You can see them via preferences->advanced
