Hi,

This was a bit tricky in fact, I should have mentionned that installing from the original sources caused some havoc (segfaults everywhere, but maybe I did something wrong).

I ended up using the karmic source packages of sip4 and python-qt4 you can find there and there:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/...4.8.1-0ubuntu1
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/...4.5.1-1ubuntu1

You can't simply use the binary packages built against a karmic system, they must be built against jaunty.

"sudo apt-get build-dep *package*" to install source dependencies
"dpkg-source -x *dsc file*" to extract a source package
"dpkg-buildpackage" to build the source package of the current dir

Already done. Thank you for addressing that problem.

@sapient

OK next test

Code:

calibre-debug -c "from multiprocessing.connection import arbitrary_address; print repr(arbitrary_address ('AF_PIPE'))"

JSWolf · 07-10-2009, 03:47 PM

Any word on the ticket I last put in? Is it going to be fixed for the next beta?

msr · 07-10-2009, 08:20 PM

Two things with the b11 build.

1. If you open up a screen to edit meta-information in bulk, the active field is now the author sort rather than the author

2. In b10, if you drag and dropped a bunch of PDFs (or other file type for that matter) without any info in the meta-tags, I could usually get it to guess the author and title of the book from the file title with minimal problem. In b11, using the exact same files, the title comes in fine but the author is always listed as Unknown. I think the new dropdown box is screwing up its ability to fill the author field.

msr · 07-10-2009, 08:25 PM

Probably related to #1 from my previous post, but the tab order for the bulk edit meta-data window is a bit screwy. I'm not sure how it was before, but it's currently (b11):

Author Sort > Rating > Tags > (Tags button) > Remove tags > Series > Remove format > Auto Author Sort > Author > Publisher > Ok > Cancel

It should be, top to bottom:

Author > Auto Author Sort > Author Sort > Rating > Publisher > Tags > (Tags button) > Remove tags > Series > Remove format > Ok > Cancel

kovidgoyal · 07-11-2009, 12:05 AM

Released b12. @msr: both your problems should be fixed in b12, if not let me know

msr · 07-11-2009, 03:18 AM

In b12, the tab order and active fields are all fixed, but I'm still finding that the author always comes out as Unknown rather than being parsed from the file title as earlier. I'll play with it more tomorrow.

river · 07-11-2009, 07:53 AM

Hi Kovid, I'm running b12, but didn't you say you'd put the convert to 'Title Case' option on the right click of the main window? I can't seem to find it, this option would also be good with a keyboard shortcut/ability to apply to bulk selections...

also I've raised a ticket for the importing metadata from filename issue in b11 & b12

Thanks man.

kovidgoyal · 07-11-2009, 01:13 PM

Right click the field you are editing to see the option

Philantrop · 07-11-2009, 02:10 PM

Kovid, are there source tarballs for the beta(s) somewhere?

kovidgoyal · 07-11-2009, 02:59 PM

No, I'm afraid not. But it should be trivial to generate one from the launchpad sources.

vxnerve · 07-11-2009, 09:14 PM

On my PRS-505, the books in a series are out of order within the collection.

Usually, they have been displaying in the following order 1,2,4,3. Occasionally, they display in a random order when loaded form Calibre.

I was not having this problem 0.5.14.

I don't know whether this is a known issue or not.

Thanks for writing a great piece of software.

kovidgoyal · 07-11-2009, 11:35 PM

You're sending all the books in the series at once?
