Bug#787560: calibre: Calibre can't communicate with file managers
I'm currently running debian/buster, not stretch, with calibre 3.35.0+dfsg-1. I believe the issue has been solved. The files when I found the problem were local files and I was using xpdf. Currently I'm using zathura as a default pdf viewer. In my system epub and mobi files open in adobe digital editions and in kindle when I click them in thunnar, as I installed them under wine, not in calibre. When I open them in calibre they open in calibre. When I drag a pdf into the middle panel it is added as a new book and from then on I can open it in calibre by clicking it.

Control: tag -1 + moreinfo Hi Luis, Is this issue also present in stretch's released calibre_2.75.1+dfsg-1, and if so, is it also present in the Calibre version in stretch-backports? https://backports.debian.org/ Reply follows inline: On Tue, Jun 02, 2015 at 12:45:12PM -0500, Luis Mochan wrote: > Package: calibre > Version: 2.24.0+dfsg-1 > Severity: important > > Dear Maintainer, > > After upgrading to Debian/stretch I found that Calibre was unable to open pdf > books, with errors such as > Unable to find the requested file.

Do ebooks in epub, mobi, etc. open successfully in Calibre (or calibre-viewer) when clicking on them in Nautilus or Thunar? What happens when you drag and drop a PDF into the middle library pane of the Calibre window? Thanks for the bug report, Nicholas signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#787560: calibre: Calibre can't communicate with file managers
Package: calibre Version: 2.24.0+dfsg-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, After upgrading to Debian/stretch I found that Calibre was unable to open pdf books, with errors such as Unable to find the requested file. Please check the spelling and try again. Unhandled error message: Error when getting information for file '...': No such file or directory (when my prefered file manager is Nautilus) and a nautilus window is opened. Later I found the same message when trying to open a Path. Changing my prefered file manager to thunar through exo-preferred- applications the message changes to Failed to open ... Error when getting information for file '..': No such file or directory. I noticed that the message seems to come from the file manager, not from Calibre. I also noticed that the file name passed to the file manager has spaces replaced by '%20'. The files do exist and I can open them from both file managers by clicking on them. Furthermore, I can open the same book in other formats from the same directory using Calibre. I could also open the pdf's after installing the 'Open With' plugin and configuring it for opening pdf files. So I guess the problem is related to the protocol used to communicate with the file managers.
