Bug Description
Running verison 0.9.15 on Linux. After adding a book, trying to double click on record to open, or trying to open from 'Path: click to open' menu on right-side results in "No such file or directory" message. The directory is present, the book files are present. Other books in the library also have the same problem.
I first noticed problem after running a Calibre upgrade while trying to open a newly imported PDF. I checked other book records and they too have the problem.
The Run Welcome Wizard path reports the Calibre Library at: /media/
I also tried escaping the space in .config/
If I hover over the 'click to open' hyperlink, it shows the fully qualified path to the directory that contains the PDF.
I tried launching in debug mode, but no errors were reported.
Additional information: I moved the Calibre library from sda1 to sdc1 for space reasons. But all books were accessible at the new location after the move until after I upgraded Calibre.
If the path is correct and you are getting path not found errors, then
your filesystem is screwed up. Since you appear to have put the calibre
library on some kind of external storage (flash?) move it to an internal
disk using a file manager/terminal. THen point calibre to the new
location by right clicking the calibre icon on the toolbar in the
calibre window.
