Are you using the latest version?

  • I am using the latest version of OpenlibExtended.

Problem Description

When the storage location under General in setting is pointed to a new folder, where the .epub and other files are moved to. The library will detect those files properly, but none can be opened by the reader.
Description will read "unknown" and "No Description Available".
The file name becomes the full path.
Attempt to open the file returns "File not found. The download may have failed"
Refreshing the library after moving files does update correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new folder and move a file (epub or pdf or any) from the original storage location into the new folder
  2. set the storage location under General in Setting to the new folder
  3. refresh the library to see if file list update correctly, if not restart program
  4. attempt to open the file
