FYI: Sync Calibre to KOReader seems broken, user feedback needed

[kyxap]

Hi all,

The feature is broken at this moment and I'm not sure if I there anyone who is using it. So please let me know if it's needed! And I will try to fix it as well.

Current issue on windows:

1. If running in non debug mode:

calibre, version 7.15.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>PermissionError</b>:[WinError 5] Access is denied: 'Utopia of Rules_ On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy, The - David Graeber &amp; Devid Griebier.sdr'

calibre 7.15  embedded-python: True

('Windows', '10', '10.0.22631')
Python 3.11.5

Interface language: None
EXE path: C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe
Successfully initialized third party plugins: Extract ISBN (1, 6, 3) && Goodreads (1, 8, 2) && Goodreads Sync (1, 16, 8) && KOReader Sync (0, 6, 2)
Traceback (most recent call last):

2. If running calibre in debug (e.g. terminal pwd is in Downloads)

Sidecars will be dowaloded locally in that folder:

But UI going to show that all sidecar is missing

calibre, version 7.15.0
Success: 6 books on device without sidecars.
Sidecar creation succeeded for 6.
Sidecar creation failed for 0.
No attempt made for 0 (no metadata in Calibre to push).
See below for details.

  {
    "result": "success",
    "book_id": 311,
    "book_uuid": "d840bffc-c9b9-4043-8424-e4c2a4ff8854",
    "sidecar_path": "Utopiia pravil. O tiekhnologhiiakh, ghluposti i tainom obaianii biurokratii - David Graeber & Devid Griebier.sdr/metadata.epub.lua"
  }
]

Some logic bug and some file access problem as well.

Put your 👍 or 👎 if you need this or better to focus on something else
