Bug. Files transfered to Coolreader are not opened. With pop-up "Trying to load book from non-standard path". Then the screen says "Can't open file "/external_files/###-####/directory of ebooks/filename". This happens when i try to open the file from Calibre companion and from 2 different file managers.

#129 is a partial fix that works (or worked, I didn't try again) on some filemanagers. Probably the original issue #126 is still unfixed.

This has become an issue with Calibre Companion users. Since the app was rewritten with updated APIs, Coolreader fails to load books via Calibre Companion. Here's the error screen I get (similar to the one posted by GaanGo): error This does not affect Android 4.x users, who are locked to the old code version of Calibre Companion.
