Restore libprs500 library from backup
I recently did an erase and install of Mac OS X and I am now trying to restore my libprs500 library from a backup but the app is not letting me place the library db file where I want it.
I am using version 0.4.43, and if I leave my library db file at the root of my home folder it works fine. However I do not want the file there. I want to place it on a path that is in my Documents folder. When I attempt to tell libprs500 where to put the file it throws the error message Quote:
If I try to place my db file on the path I want and point the app there I get the error Quote:
What am I doing wrong here? Any help will be appreciated. Best regards, Michael |

Hmm there was a bit of refactoring that might have messed this up. Post the complete error message.

Those are the complete error messages. I don't get anything else. But here is the console log from my last attempt to change the location of the default library:
3/23/08 12:11:35 PM [0x0-0x204204].net.kovidgoyal.librs500[3702] File "/Applications/libprs500.app/Contents/Resources/main.py", line 853, in do_config 3/23/08 12:11:35 PM [0x0-0x204204].net.kovidgoyal.librs500[3702] File "libprs500/gui2/library.pyo", line 464, in close |

Odd, I'll look into it in a bit, but you could just use a symlink in the meantime.
Move the library1.db to wherever you want, say /ebooks/library1.db Then Code:
ln -s /ebooks/library1.db ~/library1.db |

I see you've released a new version of libprs500. It fixes the problem I was having. Thank you for the quick turn around.

I am having an issue with the newest version of it, the 44 version. I installed it and now nothing will open or operate. I have been using it since the mid 30's versions and have had very few problems. I can get the lrfviewer up and running but not the actual program itself. Any suggestions? No error mesages to report...
