7.56: error on device connection

jesscat · 04-17-2011, 01:07 PM

Just installed 7.56 and am getting the following error as soon as I connect my Kindle; then Calibre immediately shuts down:

calibre, version 0.7.56
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>AttributeError</b>:'QWidget' object has no attribute 'filler'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\layout.py", line 321, in resizeEvent
AttributeError: 'QWidget' object has no attribute 'filler'

I'm having exactly the same issue after upgrading this afternoon. Hope there is a fix soon, because I want to load up my Kindle before I go off on holiday

I restarted Calibre 7.55 expecting to get notified of a newer version

I did. New version available 7.54

The What's new has info about 7.56

Sigh, I'm having a bad day. Fixed build upload. uninstall, re-download and re-install and you will be fine.

No problem.
Take some time,

Sit back and sip a Hot Beverage (Tea, Coffee)

Read a book

I was having this problem, and after reading this thread I uninstalled and redownloaded the windows 0.7.56 version from your site (at 1:53 EST), but I am still seeing the error.

It occurs whenever the "Device" button appears in the toolbar and whenever the application window is resized horizontally. The former problem prevents me from transferring books to my device. Panes within the application can be resized, and as long as the toolbar doesn't resize Calibre seems to operate normally.

Thanks!

The new build may not have finished uploading when you downloaded it. So try again and make sure your browser is downloading it again and not using a cached copy of the installer.

No problems here either - I had complete faith it would be fixed sooner rather than later, since it always is; I just installed an older version in the meantime...but now everything is working great.

As always, thank you!!

You're welcome and sorry for the run around

selecting preferences>conversion>output options crashes the system on 7.54, 7.55 & 7.56.

go to preferences->look & feel and change your font to something standard like verdana/candara/arial/whatever

alansplace · 04-17-2011, 05:09 PM

thanks, changed it to ariel and now all is fine, but honestly i never before changed that setting from the default.

What was the font before you changed it?

alansplace · 04-17-2011, 06:19 PM

Microsoft Ti Le, which I've never heard of before.
