Beta testing libprs500's new GUI - Page 14

Can you send me the PDF and I'll try to replicate this error.

Version 0.3.109 using XP. I imported a pdf file and converted it. I then put it on the reader and tried to bring up the book. the reader crashed and rebooted, I tried it again and it did the same thing. I then put the original back on the beta and sent it to the reader. It went fine but the type is so small it is unreadable to my old eyes. I aso tried it after a reboot, same.

I also saved the file back to my hard drive and the beta could not find it until I unchecked 'read only' in properties.

I am attaching the file

Will be fixed in the next release.

Traceback When Attempting To Edit Meta Info

Argument 1 of QLineEdit.setText() has an invalid type
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 389, in edit_metadata
File "libprs500\gui2\dialogs\metadata_single.pyo", line 145, in __init__
TypeError: argument 1 of QLineEdit.setText() has an invalid type

Am I doing something wrong?

kovidgoyal · 09-13-2007, 05:51 PM

Nope my fault, will be fixed in the next release.

version .107 When I open a command prompt it comes up C:\Documents and settings\hal>

If I open it there the program crashes when I try to add books (libprs500-beta.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close) about 98% of the time. If I open it under just C:\ This does not happen

so If you collect MS error messages you got a few from me. I also sent a case of beer via paypal for this great program--enjoy

Thanks, the cash is much appreciated. Hmm...that's a strange error, is there no output in the terminal at all?

htaylor · 09-14-2007, 11:54 AM

No output at the terminal.
I am starting to think that the problems are my laptop, not libprs500-beta. It has been doing strange things. I will try to replicate the problems on the desktop.

Running Version 0.3.109 libprs500-beta
When placing the file 'The Little Prince' it placed an '&' between the first and last name of the author after it transfered to reader- I tried to change the '&' to a comma on the reader and it crashes (tried 4 times) with the following error-

Hey Kovid:

While not perfect, the beta GUI is SO MUCH BETTER than the default GUI... I think it's time to switch. Please make the beta the default, and make the OLD GUI the one that requires the command line.

Kovid,
I just wanted to let you know that I sent a donation via your paypal web link. You are doing a great job. I just wish that Sony was as conscientious about improving their software as you have been.
Thanks!

Thanks, much appreciated. In a way, SONY's lack luster performance is what made libprs500 necessary, so I'm not too unhappy with them ;-)

ddavtian · 09-16-2007, 10:09 PM

Kovid, I sent some beer money too, through your web page.

I hope these beers do not affect the next release, in few days :-)
Thank you for great tool.

David
