Thanks, I promise to drink them after 0.4.0 ;-)

Your product manager may have a drink now, good roadmap. Developers deserve drinks too, but after release :-)

Kovid,
Have a six pack on me too. Thanks for wonderful work.

Hopefully my small contribution will have enabled a premium bath..such as Pilsner Urquell !

0.4.0 is in the wild. The beta GUI is now the default GUI

A big thank you to everyone that submitted bug reports and/or donations. This release wouldn't have happened without your support and enthusiasm.

Linux users: If you try to convert more than one document at a time, you may experience crashes. This is due to a bug in PyQt, you have to upgrade SIP and PyQt manually to a development snapshot, or just convert one thing at a time ;-)

Hello Kovid,

great work!

Shall I send some more beer, or would you prefer some pizza or anything else to eat after the beer in the neighborhood pool...

Got this message trying to sort my books in the library (0.4.0 - MacOSX):

Code:

no such column: publisher_sort
Detailed traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "libprs500/gui2/library.pyo", line 151, in sort
  File "libprs500/library/database.pyo", line 661, in refresh
OperationalError: no such column: publisher_sort

I just clicked the publisher column.

El buggo! Will be fixed in the next release. A nice BBQ lunch would be good, while the warm weather lasts ;-)

Much appreciated.

Hello Kovid,

got the next bug. Will you smash it? See ticket 214.

Just one more question.

Are "Series" as shown in the meta informations of a file in libprs500 the same as "Collections" as shown on the Sony Reader?

If not, how to create "Collections" with an Apple Mac?

StDo · 09-23-2007, 06:48 AM

Next question:

In meta informations of a file in the library (libprs500) field "Author(s)":

is it: "Surename,Firstname" or "Firstname,Surename"?

And, if there are two authors, how are they separated?
"Surename,Firstname Surename,Firstname" or "Surename,Firstname;Surename,Firstname"

Any hints?

kovidgoyal · 09-23-2007, 11:21 AM

1) Add tags to create collections.

2) In the authors field you should write the entries as the full name like Firstnae Lastname & firstname Last name. If you want the authors to sort as Lastname, Firstname, use the author sort field.

After installing your program there is no connection to my Sony reader, so I can't send my books to the Sony Reader. I did uninstall Connect Reader. But there was no Sony Reader Device Driver to uninstall in my Windows System Software folder. What went wrong?

Than you!

Steffen
