Getting an error when fetching news with the latest beta. Earlier betas worked fine (although I skipped 11&12).
The error shows as keyerror 'base_font_size' and also displays the following.......

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\scheduler.pyo", line 514, in check
File "calibre\gui2\dialogs\scheduler.pyo", line 533, in do_download
File "main.py", line 1085, in download_scheduled_recipe
File "calibre\gui2\tools.pyo", line 166, in fetch_scheduled_recipe
KeyError: 'base_font_size'

Any ideas for a workaround??? Using windows vista.

EDIT: Just checked....it's not working in beta 12 either.

@kovidgoyal: b13 solved my problem with the covers/conversion of mobi files. Thanks for that, and for all the work you've put into this fantastic program!

b13 works!
thanks kovid!

Quick question that I didn't want to start a new thread for or pick apart epub files for - when I change metadata in calibre, does it modify the metadata in the ebook files, or just in the database? The function seemed a little bit like how iTunes modifies id3 tags, but I wasn't sure if the execution was the same.

itimpi · 07-14-2009, 04:22 PM

Metadata changes get written to the database and initially do not change the files. They get written to files when you either run a conversion or send them to a device.

Just tried b13 and all of the bugs about the author names/dropdown list have been fixed. Thanks so much for all the work you're doing on this great software.

thomasmorus · 07-14-2009, 07:54 PM

Hello Dr.Kovid

as we in germany would say and congratulations. Also thanks for the work on the software. I especially like the new feature to put the netadat on the first page.

B13 works quite good.

I have still some questions:
1. Was the author sort probleme solved? I still get the authors sorted on the author field not on the author sort field but maybe I am doing something wrong? (using the GUI)

2.) I am using tags and the series field. Now I reconverted all my star trek books (about 550) and retransfered them to an SD Card. I have all the books under the Tag "Star Trek" and have differnt numbered series (TOS, TNG, VOYAGER, Enterprise ...). When I transfer the books to the reader the series are totaly mixed in the Series view. I am only getting the correct numer of books in there but not the correct books. Bug or my fault?

3.) for some books (about 1%) I get an error when I try to convert them to LRF. When I remove the Option to insert the Metadata I can convert them.

Thanks for your Help

Thomas

kovidgoyal · 07-14-2009, 07:55 PM

Thanks.

1) It should have been solved. If not, open a ticket for it.

2) I still have to look at this issue

3) Open a ticket and attch the source file as well as the exact settings you used for convesion

bmfrosty · 07-14-2009, 08:18 PM

I'd almost think that a 4 level approach might be appropriate in some cases like Thomas's:

Series: Star Trek
Subseries: DS9
Subsubseries: Dominion War
Volume: 3

I don't know how much of this is supported by the different metadata formats used by the different ebook formats though.

Should i open a ticket for this then? Is there any more info you need from me?

zerospinboson · 07-15-2009, 06:12 AM

When converting from mobi to rtf, the rtf file that is created only contains part of the book (it seems to stop at random points during conversion too)

kovidgoyal · 07-15-2009, 11:13 AM

@pars_andy: Will be fixed in the next beta

@zerospinboson: user_none will have to look at that.
