scarlettruin · 04-03-2015, 02:15 PM

Everytime I try to use 'Generate Cover', this error popsup - TypeError:QPixmap(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'ImageView'. I've asked about this in the plugin specific part on the forum, but I have a futher issue. There does seem to be a fix,but I don't understand how to implement it - the fix is here - https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rc...89947451,d.ZGU - can anyone help please?

Update your version of Calibre to 2.23. The fix you mention has been included in version 2.23 which is the version released today.

I've already updated calibre to 2.23, and it was after the upgrade that the problem first started.

You can post the link itself rather than a google redirect to the link.
Tht linux-only bug is a month old and regardless should only apply to distro builds. It was also fixed just as long ago. The recommended way to run calibre is via the binary install on calibre's homepage. That being said, if you can provide an error message, that could prove instrumental to fixing it.

Edit: If the problem is only with the plugin, then the plugin needs to stop passing that value to that function. Modify the plugin. An error traceback will even tell you which line to fix.

Edit2: I believe calibre now bundles Qt5.4.1 so plugin errors should show up in all official builds as well.

Hi- I hate to admit it, but I don't know how to modify the plugin, do an error traceback or find pllugin errors in official builds - could you please point me towards somewhere that it is explained? I'm not amazing with computers :S

The error traceback is the full text of the error message that pops up. Also echoed in the log when running calibre in debug mode (from the command prompt, "calibre-debug -g").

I initially thought this must be a linux issue, but I can't be sure anymore

-- I usually assume any linux user is likely to have some skill at basic modification of source code files unless otherwise stated.
You can unzip the plugin file and edit the *.py files as needed...

Not to worry, though -- this should be fixed by the plugin maintainer soon.

No,I use windows,not linux, hence why I'm not great at this :S lol, it's pretty much figure it out as i go along!

This is the error mesage: calibre, version 2.23.0
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:QPixmap(): argument 1 has unexpected type 'ImageView'

So what do I need to edit please, and where do I find the text I need to edit? Or do I need to wait for the plugin developer to sort the issue?
