Seemingly random crashes upon transfer to PRS-505

TMF · 06-15-2009, 06:43 AM

All of a sudden, Calibre unexpectedly crashes on me when I attempt to transfer certain PDF files to the PRS-505, including files that I have previously transferred without problems. Other files are transfered, but with title and author metadata fields missing. Yet other files transfer without a problem. The error can be replicated; it is always the same files that cause the crash.

I am attaching what I assume to be the relevant log and temporary files in the hope that they are of help.

Thanks!

This is a known bug with reading/writing PDF metadata in the 0.5 series. A workaround is to disable the PDF metadata reader/writer plugins

Thanks! Although I am having somewhat similar (if possibly weirder) problems with 0.6b6, see tickets 2620 and 2621.
