Error: Could not add

icecoldx · 06-20-2015, 08:15 AM

Hi,

First of all, this is a great tool and thanks for developing this.

I am currently try to add a few rar manga to my paperwhite.

Surprisingly only 8 out of 10 rar works.

Error: Could not add

No ebook files were found in [directory].

These are all just rar files containing jpg and the one that works are no different to the one that doesnt.

I am running out of ideas, do you mind giving me some suggestions ?

Regards,

Jono

Hard to say without access to the rar file in question.

Thanks for the reply.

Looks like the workaround is uncompress them, zip them, move them to a different location and add books no more than 20-30 at a time.

Does it make a difference if you rename the *.rar files to *.cbr?

Haven't tried that sorry.

But my gut feeling is something to do with file permission (even tho I am logged in as administrator...).

I think rar or zip both works if I follow the same work around.

If I do 150 chapter at once, it fails followed by chapter won't work individually.

At this point I think the files are locked up.

Regards,

Jonathan
