I get this error when I start Calibre, with Marvin XD installed, but before I have connected by iPad:

Code:

Python 2.7.5
Linux: ('Slackware ', '13.1.0', '')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre_plugins.marvin_manager.action", line 63, in about_to_show_menu
  File "calibre_plugins.marvin_manager.action", line 560, in rebuild_menus
  File "calibre_plugins.marvin_manager.action", line 69, in create_menu_item

UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u2026' in position 5: ordinal not in range(256)
but it doesn't affect anything. However, when I connect my iPad, and the MarvinXD icon appears, and I click on the little down-arrow, I get the same error (as a pop-up), and I can't (as far as I can tell) do anything with the MarvinXD plugin.

Unicode 2026 is the ellipsis ... character . But I cannot find this character anywhere in my book titles or authors or tags. So I don't know if it's a problem with one of my books, or a problem with my machine configuration, or ...

The old Marvin plugin appears to be working fine. It's just the new one.

Can you offer some guidance?

Thanks.

@hymie, the plugin uses the ellipsis character in the context menu to indicate submenus, as well in certain dialogs throughout the plugin.

I test on Windows, OS X and Ubuntu and this is the first time I've heard of that error.

I am not a Linux user. I will do some research to see if I can learn anything more.
