Unable to convert cbr to lfr - 0.4.133

[XenoPhage]

Hi all,

I'm getting an error when trying to convert a cbr file to lrf. I've included the error below as well as details about my system.

I was able to run comic2lrf by hand and it seems to work, so I'm not sure what the problem with the GUI itself is.

Calibre 0.4.133
Macbook Pro
OSX 10.5.6
prs-505

Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "threading.pyo", line 522, in __bootstrap_inner
File "/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.6/site-packages.zip/calibre/parallel.py", line 761, in run

Thanks!

Look like you have a corrupted install. Try deleting and re-installing

No such luck...

This worked prior to installing 0.4.133 today... Any other ideas?

what does

ls -l Desktop/calibre.app/Contents

in a terminal give you? Replace Desktop with the path to wherever you have put the calibre app

[XenoPhage]

ls -l Desktop/calibre.app/Contents

ls -l /Apensieve:~ XenoPhage$ ls -l /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/

[kovidgoyal]

One more

ls -l calibre.app/Contents/console.app

[XenoPhage]

ls -l calibre.app/Contents/console.app

pensieve:~ XenoPhage$ ls -l /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/

And just because I think you're going to ask...

What does this give you

calibre-debug -c "from calibre.parallel import WorkerMother; m = WorkerMother(); print m.executable; print m.env"

[XenoPhage]

calibre-debug -c "from calibre.parallel import WorkerMother; m = WorkerMother(); print m.executable; print m.env"

pensieve:~ XenoPhage$ calibre-debug -c "from calibre.parallel import WorkerMother; m = WorkerMother(); print m.executable; print m.env"
/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/python
{'DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH': '/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/Frameworks/ImageMagick/lib', 'PATH': '/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/Frameworks', 'PYTHONHOME': '/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/Resources', 'MAGICK_HOME': '/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/Frameworks/ImageMagick'}

[kovidgoyal]

Hmm well the no such file or directory error comes from trying to execute

/Applications/calibre.app/Contents/console.app/Contents/MacOS/python

I'm guessing running ls -l on that path shows that it exists and is executable?

[kovidgoyal]

Ah I think I've located the problem. I'll work on a fix ASAP

[kovidgoyal]

I've uploaded a fixed build. Re download and you should be fine. (the upload will complete ina few minutes)

Sweet! That did it..

The programmer in me would like to know what the problem was

[kovidgoyal]

An oversight on my part. I recently changed the calibre.app bundle's internal structure (to allow for running worker processes that use a GUI toolkit without creating dock icons). calibre uses the worker launch infrastructure recursively during comic creation and some of the path logic was incorrect for the new bundle structure when called recursively (levels of symlinks).

So does that mean there won't be a bunch of calibre icons in the dock or in the Cmd-Tab menu anymore? That got a tad confusing after a while..
