Updated to Calibre 2.47--can't get books on Macbook to Save to Disc

ljrkrispes · 12-23-2015, 09:45 AM

Just updated (why did I do it?!!) Calibre. Tried to Save to Disc with my new books on Calibre so I can get them into Dropbox to move to my iPad. I double click on the book, the Save to Disc Public window opens and the old books on it are displayed. But no new books added. What am I doing wrong? Or how else can I move books to Dropbox? Thanks!

Double-clicking on a book usually opens that book on-disk -- it doesn't save it. Are you sure you actually used the save-to-disk menu?

It really is as simple as using the Save-to-disk menu icon, choosing a directory, and watching the progress bar as calibre saves a copy of all selected books. I haven't heard of anyone else failing to do so, so I am assuming user error.
But by all means, if you are convinced it is upgrading calibre that caused the problem, feel free to downgrade calibre -- all previous versions are available HERE.
