I too am having Calibre crash on importing.

I am running Vista 32bit and Calibre is crashing on import every time. I did not attach the error file but can if needed.

6.14 ran on my machine with no problems.

Thanks,

I want to be your LatexSalesMan!!!!

@latexsalesman: Uninstall calibre. Delete the C:\Program Files\calibre directory and then re-install calibre.

@jquest: Works for me on gentoo 64 bit. Don't have a Ubuntu 64 bit machine to test on. But try deleting /opt/calibre/libffi.so.5 and see if that fixes the crash.

Yes!

That seems to do it for this one, will keep at it tonite and let you know if there are other issues.

Thanks!!!

Oops, was importing a group of lit files, got about 1/3 of them in, then it crashed with the attached logs.

Crashes on a Mac under Snow Leopard as well during imports.

@jquest: Were you simulataneously doing something while adding books?

@GJN: What format were these books you were trying to import?

Hi kovid,

Thanks for and amazing job with calibre.

On 6.15 I can confirm the same crash on Vista 64 while importing txt, html, and prc docs.

If you want I can upload logs.

Yes, repeated crashes trying to import .html or .rtf in .615, Snow Leopard.
.lrf crashed once, then imported/converted.

update: on 3rd restart, .html imported, converted fine.

update 2: Ok, dragging and dropping crashes. Using Add Books seems to work. But something is definitely a bit random.

Yup, I'd like to quip in with reports of repeated crashes while importing epub files too. I'm on Windows 7 x64.

Edit - Crashes with both drag and drop as well as "Add Book" method.

PS - Thanks for all the awesome work on Calibre.

I've just installed 0.6.16, and it seems very solid so far.

No issues at all with multiple file imports.

0.6.16? I don't see a link for it yet.

BKeeper · 10-02-2009, 03:51 AM

0.6.16 does solve the crash.

Wow, Kovid that is amazing.

orion2001 · 10-02-2009, 04:17 AM

Thanks for the quick update. I'll try this out and report back tomorrow.
