PRS-505 and 0.6.23 Send to Device issue

itimpi · 11-14-2009, 01:53 PM

I have a PRS-505 and the Send to Device option no longer seems to be working OK using 0.6.23 on Windows.

When I plug the PRS-505 in to my PC it is recognised and both the Main memory and the Storage Card A show up in Calibre. However when I select Send to Device, both the Send to Main Memory and the Send to Storage Card A options are greyed out.

Any ideas? It was all working fine under 0.6.21

what happens if you just click the send to device button rather than one of the options in the menu?

Just tried rebooting the system and it seems to have come back to life!

One of those PC mysteries I guess

I always get the following error message:

(82, 'The directory or file cannot be created')

Traceback (most recent call last):
