Can't Open Book Details with 0.7.36

oldbwl · 01-01-2011, 03:17 PM

A Double click on the Book details or the keyboard short cut 'I' gives the following error

ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:native Qt signal is not callable

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\actions\show_book_details.py ", line 33, in show_book_info
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\book_info.py", line 26, in __init__
TypeError: native Qt signal is not callable

I am using Windows Vista, did a clean install, but no change,

All now fixed in 0.7.37, thanks to everyone involved, this has to be the best supported software I currently use.

small suggestion - add a check for update button to calibre or to help link. I read this thread & wanted 7.37 but I can never remember the download page URL, so I have to wait for the program to check & tell me there is an update available.
suggestion 2: the download website gets hammered whenever there is a new release & goes very slow or unavailable - so release updates with a download as a torrent option. will reduce your server costs & improve he service.

Why wait? If you know a new version is out just restart calibre, CTRL-R.

Good idea!

Not a single click solution.
Click the Help button
Now click the Library symbol in the Upper Left of that page.
(Many WEB designers make the logo, the 'Home' link .)
click 'Downloads' or 'What's New'

Tip.
Enable the 'Status line' feature of your browser (available in FF and IE) if you are not screen size challenged

When you 'Hover' over link items, you see stuff there (Like what the Text says is nothing like where it will send you

. SPOOF? No way I click.) You might see many more 'hot spots' (does not work with Flash. Another Security risk?)

hmm-

with google chrome it does do that but in very faint + small grey print - so small & faint that I'd never noticed it!

IE8 does it in a more readable style but I try not to use that - I have chrome as default browser.
