I've been trying 0.6.41 catalog generating and I cannot get it to work.
First attempt was on full library of 360+ books. Stopped after about 25% of the usual time for the job. No obvious errors but catalog would not open in reader and was only 50KB instead of 3MB+.
Tried epub again with only 5 books. Still not working, calibre shows the size as 0.2MB, actual filesize is 1.5KB.
Also tried mobi format catalog for different 5 books, does not work.
On XP.
Sorry about the brevity, I'm in a rush.
