    Windows does not search for .epub files in the Calibre library folder


    I use Calibre for editing epub books. When I had a lot of books in the Calibre library and I wanted to see the listing I used to search the Calibre library folder in Windows explorer for 'epub' or '.epub' and the entire list came up.


    Since the latest win10 upgrades that no longer happens.
    The list comes up empty, even though there are dozens such files in the folder.


    When I search that folder for 'jpg' the search runs like normal. All the pictures show correctly.

    When I search for 'epub' nothing shows, at all.

    When I search other folders for 'epub' they do show up. The problem seems to be specific to the Calibre library folder.


    I have tried with file view 'show known file extensions' even though that is not needed for JPGs

    I have tried searching for capitalized 'EPUB' instead.

    Still no result.


    It is very time consuming if I have to open each individual book folder to find the epub files when search should do same in a fraction of a second. .


    Does anyone know a solution to make the files show up?

    :)

    I was using calibre to convert pdf files and via wireless upload on stanza. this was pretty useful. is there anyway? should I use sharepoint to get them on phone?

    Opening EPUB file with Edge

    Hi,

    You can read .ePub files in Microsoft Edge so long as they are not protected. The latest Windows 10 build brings EPUB file format support to Edge, allowing users to read their favorite EPUB books directly in the browser. To resolve your concern,
    we suggest that you associate the file type to Edge as well. To do this, please follow the steps below:

    • Type Control Panel in the Search bar and press Enter.
    • Type Default Programs in the Control Panel Search bar.

    • Click the Default Programs and select Associate a file type or protocol with a program option.

    • Double-click the .ePub file type.
    • Once the pop-up window shows the option, click on More apps drop down then select Edge.
    Let us know if the solution above works for you.
