Unfortunately, another "Failed: Generate catalog"

Sigwolf · 11-07-2012, 02:05 AM

I've seen a bunch of these threads in this forum, but none of the posted answers have worked for me. The last version I can say worked for sure was 0.8.62. I know that 0.8.69 and 0.9.5 generate an error instead of a catalog, whether I pick 2 or 3 books or my entire library. I am using Win7-64.

Spoiler:

Any ideas what I need to do to fix this?

The fix for that bug is already submitted, will be in the next release (0.9.6).

Thanks for the quick reply. Just out of curiousity, do you know what caused the bug? Is there something specific to my collection that causes it to happen, or is just more of a mainstream issue that effects most users?

The problem had nothing to do with your collection. I had added some diagnostic code that displayed the source of an added prefix (Tags or custom column). When the source was a tag, the problem occurred. You can confirm this by temporarily disabling any prefix rules whose source is Tags.

G, 0.9.6 did indeed fix the problem, and I can once again generate a catalog. Thanks again for the help and quick response.
