Calibre .106 observation

moosejons_dad · 11-24-2008, 09:42 AM

Currently I have a prs-500 using windows xp and after downloading the Sunday NYTimes noticed that all of the articles from the mobile download that is now the download format for the Times on Calibre, does not contain all of the articles. Being a sports fan in the NYC region I was surprised that articles about teams I follow were not in the edition so I checked the entire paper vs. the mobile edition and found in some cases half the paper was there.

I then reloaded Calibre 1.05 and found that the entire NY Sunday Times was there and it was perfect in that it contained all of the full articles for the paper.

Please take this as a heads up on the Times as I am sure that future revisions of this program which contain the automatic downloads etc, would continue to greatly enhance the pleasure we all great from this wonderful program but I as others would probably hold off on upgrading if we were Times subscribers.

Interesting, I didn't realize that section of the paper were missing from the mobile version. are there any other missing sections?

If I remember correctly most of the sections had stories missing from the online paper.
The download with 1.05 did not have any sections missing in the Sunday edition.

Is it possible to leave in both download versions in the next revision?

kovidgoyal · 11-24-2008, 02:36 PM

I'll put both in for the next release.

I am also noticing that 1.06 reintroduced some of the errors I used to get in the WSJ recipe -- it is giving me the "could not retrieve" error for a bunch of articles. Not as bad as it was a few versions ago, and it finishes the download, but this behavior was totally eliminated in 1.05. Did anything change that could be bringing this back?

Thanks.

Hmm I don't think anything changed that should affect that. Can you post the traceback from one of those errors
