Bug when copying an existing book from one library to another

[Werner Arts]

It warns, but when saying Yes, the imported book has no content and no metadata in the new library

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

I cannot reproduce. What version of calibre is this on what operating
system? And what warning are you talking about?

 status incomplete

[Werner Arts (w-arts)]

Operating system: Windows10/64 Pro

I have some libraries:
Bibliothek with app 10.700 books

New with 3 books

Which i want to move into Bibliothek and i got this message

When pressing OK the result in Bibliothek is

Book 2 and 3 are moved correct, but book 1 has no content and the folder
contains only "metadata.opf" (attached)

What settings do you have for Preferences->Adding actions

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

Sorry, I meant Preferences->Adding books->adding actions

[Werner Arts (w-arts)]

No Rules - they are empty

This i did never change since app 2013

I have the same problem.
The error is:

calibre, version 3.39.0
ERROR: Failed to copy some books: Could not copy some books, click "Show Details" for more information.

Failed to copy 52 books, see below for details

Copying: Blood of Others failed, with error:

The books copy but the error comes up.

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

That's not the same problem and you can fix it by updating calibre to 3.39.1

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

Sorry I cannot replicate this on my windows machine either, using the
stepps you described. I am guessing this was caused by the original book
record in the source library missing the files. Try running check
library on it to confirm.

 status invalid

[Werner Arts (w-arts)]

It happens with each book I did - on every Computer I tried with mirrors
of my "Bibliothek" library (app 10.700 books):
no errors in Database -> no problems found.

The copying (moving) bug started with 3.39.0 and changed in 3.39.1.

3.38 worked correct

My Calibre 3.39.1 is buggy!

I am going to need some way to re-create your error to help you. Post a
set of systematic steps describing what you are doing. For example:

1) Click on a book
2) Right click and choose Copy to libbrary->library name (delete after
copy)
3) Get a popup notifying of possible duplicates
4) Click add anyway
5) Switch to target library
6) Select newly copied book
7) See that is has no formats in it

[Werner Arts (w-arts)]

In Library "Bibliothek" exists "Adler und Engel" by "Juli Zeh"

This book exists too in library "Neu" - you can see page 2 in Viewer

When doing a Copy and delete to "Bibliothek"

This message appears

In "NEU" "Adler und Engel" vanished
When pressing OK:
"Bibliothek" shows "unbekannt", "unbekannt" no size - only .opf in this
folder

Copying and moving problems started with 3.39.0 - before, all was OK

Regards, Werner Arts

The same behavior is in Calibre Portable

Is either library on a network drive, a "non-standard" filesystem, or a folder controlled by a sync program such as Dropbox?

[Werner Arts (w-arts)]

Both libraries (Bibliothek, Neu) in Calibre64-3.19.1 are on drive
C:\Calibre = 1 TB SSD
The (different) libraries in Portable Calibre (on the same computer) are
on drive D: = 4 TB Sata HD.

In Calibre64/PortableCalibre 3.38.1 everything is OK - the copy/move
problems began with 3.39.0

there was indeed a bug in 3.39.0 but it was fixed in 3.39.1

[Werner Arts (w-arts)]

When fixing 3.39.0 another copying/moving bug occured - all Versions of
3.38 were OK.

The same problem exists with an mirror of Calibre Portable 3.39 from D:
to a portable (USB3) SSD used on another computer.

File System is NTFS

contains my CalibrePortable.zip with 2 Libraries, each containing the same book from John Schember
Calibre 3.39.1 shows the bug in moving.
If 3.38.1 would be installed, moving is OK

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

Ah, that allowed me to reproduce th eissue, fix will be in next release.

[Kovid Goyal (kovid)]

Fixed in branch master. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every alternate Friday.
