probably, but it would probably be better if they were then just stripped/ignored entirely before the mobi file was generated. (Duno if that can easily be done by you though)

How does that apply to epub files? I guess you misunderstood me - I'm interested in epub output. Please fix it. And btw, thank you for your patience and being so helpful!

Ah, just tried to convert to MOBI with the "disable the TOC" option on. And again the same thing - the book cover, the ToC (yep!) and then the text. I 'd like just the cover and the text and nothing in between. So I think the option is not working properly.

@Garfunkel: calibre does not insert a generated TOC into EPUB. If you're seeing a TOC there, it was there in the source files. And in the MOBI format, the TOC is inserted at the end of the file, not at the beginning.

I should note that while I have fixed the particular bug, font resizing in 0.6 does not work exactly the same as in 0.5. Indeed, LRF font resizing may still require some work.

No, you're mistaken. There's no ToC in my FB2 source files. Here's the beginning of it...

As you can see no ToC but after converting it to epub with calibre I get this (after the cover) -

The same thing is when I read the book on my iPod touch - first cover then I have to scroll several pages to go to the text. I have a FB2 reader and it does not create the ToC.

kovidgoyal · 07-09-2009, 07:28 PM

Ah perhaps the FB2 input plugin is auto inserting a TOC, I'll have to check. Open a ticket and attach the FB2 file.

JSWolf · 07-09-2009, 08:11 PM

I just found an oddity. Something I've converted to ePub using beta 10 & 11 locks up my reader. But using 0.5.14, it's fine.

I'll open a ticket and attach the relevant files.

Stingo · 07-09-2009, 08:13 PM

The fetch book information function is busted. It finds the books but when you select the description it gives an error.

Here is the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre/gui2/dialogs/metadata_single.pyo", line 452, in fetch_metadata
AttributeError: 'EnComboBox' object has no attribute 'setText'

I too have encountered the error. It's too bad we need PyQT version 4.5.x since the only (K)Ubuntu distro with that version available in a package at the moment is Karmic.

I guess I'll have to try and build the latest version from source when time permits.

Thanks for the info user_none.

And thanks for all the hardwork on calibre Kovid.

Perhaps you can answer something I've always wanted to know. Can you tell me if your breath smells like worms or is it minnows?
