Calibre cannot modify libraries on LAN
Calibre 1.32 Windows 64 bit cannot cannot modify library on network shares. This is not a permissions problem.
I first encountered this in 1.31, and I hoped the upgrade would resolve it. bit it does not. I can only add books, and cannot convert, add covers, or change metadata. If I copy the library to a local directory, all works as expected. The problem is the same if it is a UNC path, or if it is mapped to a network drive. The path names are not long. For example the library "reference" is in "G:\media\ebooks\reference" Other software has no problem modifying any files in this network share. Thanks for any help. Code:
