Bug Description
I like to use ebook-meta to get information about ebooks (not only to set metadata). If I run ebook-meta on a file with no other arguments, I would expect it to give me the information that I was looking for (title, etc.). Instead, I get this message:
Python function terminated unexpectedly: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/users/
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/
return run_entry_point()
File "/Applications/
return getattr(pmod, func)()
File "site-packages/
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: u'/users/
The permissions are set to read:
~% ls -l '/users/
-rw-r--r-- 1 rmiller staff 3267 Sep 16 11:43 /users/
Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.
