Description (last modified by kovidgoyal) (diff)

When I try to add books to my database, it comes back with the following error.

attempt to write a readonly database Detailed traceback: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "main.py", line 493, in add_books File "main.py", line 535, in _add_books File "calibre\gui2\library.pyo", line 145, in add_books File "calibre\library\database2.pyo", line 920, in add_books

Operational Error?: attempt to write a readonly database

I have to re-install the program to allow this access. It is a pain to have to go through this but it does function at that point. As soon as I close it, I am stuck with a re-install.

I am, sadly, running Vista.

Thank you for what help you can give. Calibre rocks otherwise. ;)

A simple workaround is to run it as Administrator. Alternatively try moving the database using the config dialog to some folder that belongs to your user account.
