Hi,
I am trying to add several books in a new and empty library, recursive through the whole path, one directory equals one ebook. But I get the following error:
The user issuing the command is owner of all directories and files of the path to the ebooks and the new library. So there cannot be a problem with rights management I think.
WARNING: this is calibre Version 3.7.
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Sebastian
