MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Qt exception thrown from an event handler

Bandgeek · 03-25-2012, 01:27 PM

Last night I left Calibre importing a big collection of books. This morning Calibre was no longer running and when I try to start it up I get a Visual C++ runtime error. Unfortunately the error window is blank and doesn't tell me what the error is.

I deleted the last few dozen books that were added to the library thinking one of them might have hung it up, but that didn't help either.

I ran in debug mode and this is what I got.

C:\Users\Lenny>calibre-debug -g

MemoryError
Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Any ideas?
