Thank you so much for the quick response!
I looked at the hyperlink you added and yet, on the page, I still could not detect where 04.18 was and where 04.19 is so that I can see the change? What am I not looking at? How do I find a "Version Bump" in the list? |

Just search the page for the string 0.4.18

I got it!! This is done differently than most revision histories I have seen. Most of them are more like a list of things that have changed and that was what I was trying to look for. This version is more like coding changes, which takes a little more reading to understand. But works!! Thank You...

Yeah I don't have the time to maintain a separate list of changes, since I typically release libprs500 once a week. Perhaps once development slows down I'll add a traditional changelog.

Kovid - Don't get me wrong. The link that you sent works great and the updates that you do are FAR more important.
Again, Thanks.. |

Fetching News error: unpack requires a string argument of length 6
Hi just got a Sony PRS-505 and I'm getting acquainted with what it can do. I luckily found this site and your application which as a Mac user (although I do run Windows in a virtual machine when necessary) it will be very nice to interact with the Reader via OS/X.
I just downloaded 0.4.19 and get the following whenever fetching news (any of the 3 feeds). I saw this error came up earlier in the thread, not sure if it's been fixed in the past, but I wanted to report it. Detailed traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/libprs500.app/Contents/Resources/main.py", line 513, in news_fetched File "/Applications/libprs500.app/Contents/Resources/main.py", line 279, in _add_books File "libprs500/ebooks/metadata/meta.pyo", line 25, in get_metadata File "libprs500/ebooks/lrf/meta.pyo", line 256, in get_metadata File "libprs500/ebooks/lrf/meta.pyo", line 477, in __init__ File "libprs500/ebooks/lrf/meta.pyo", line 76, in __get__ File "libprs500/ebooks/lrf/meta.pyo", line 343, in restore_pos File "libprs500/ebooks/lrf/meta.pyo", line 521, in unpack File "struct.pyo", line 87, in unpack error: unpack requires a string argument of length 6 Thanks and Regards, -Ost |

Oops looks like I introduced a new bug. For the time being use the commandline

Frankly, if Sony supported the 500/505 1/10th as well as Kovid, they'd have the best reader on the market.
As an OS-X user, I'm constantly frustrated by the hoops I have to jump through in order to even use the device the way it's intended. |

When I convert a file and try to save it to a folder I get the following message:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'C:/Download Temp\\Daniel Silva\\Kill Artist \\Kill Artist - Daniel Silva_88.lrf' Detailed traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 479, in save_to_disk File "libprs500\gui2\library.pyo", line 130, in save_to_disk File "libprs500\library\database.pyo", line 1090, in export_to_dir IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'C:/Download Temp\\Daniel Silva\\Kill Artist \\Kill Artist - Daniel Silva_88.lrf' For some reason it adds a u' in front of the path. Am I doing something wrong? How do I correct this? Thanks |

When I convert an html file to lrf via libprs (or via any2lrf, or via html2lrf on commandline, I get an interesting situation:
Not liking the short-bus fonts of the 'true' Table of Contents display, I instead use simple html links, roughly like so: Quote:
I can work around this, via offsetting links / anchors, but it's annoying, patently. prs-505 = reader, librs500 is being used for conversion, movement/maintenance I'm doing manually, so haven't moved up in version (haven't noted anything in changed which would seem to pertain to this). |

Hmm adding a style="page-break-before: always" to the <a name> tags should fix this.

Thank you, testing now.
EDIT: clarification, would this be the syntax? Quote:
EDIT2: Didn't work as above, also tried --force-page-break-before-tag & having the string = "<a name=", with same results... Going to stick an empty <h12> text at each point, trying that now. Last edited by shoggot; 11-16-2007 at 12:49 PM. Reason: Compulsive editor. |

d'oh, that h[12] would be h1 or h2. Trying again. (currently have

Testing... Well, that's interesting. The links now go to the correct location - but there's no page break there. The links are working correctly now at least, and that's the main thing for me. |

If all you need is chapter headings to link to the following html will work
Code:
<a href="#chap1">.... <h2 style="page-break-before:always" id="chap1">Chapter 1</h2> ... |

mm, but would that result in a table-of-contents listing? I'm actively trying to avoid that. Though I note the link... Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. You do good work, based on what I've read here and on the linprs500 site.
