Bulk metada edit error trying to edit tags

[Purple Lady]

I am getting an error trying to edit tags in bulk. When I click the Open Tag Editor button I get the following error. I am currently using 0.7.42 and I remember it working when I had 0.7.37. I can edit the tags individually.


ERROR: ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>ValueError</b>:None is not in list

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\metadata_bulk.py", line 765, in tag_editor
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\tag_editor.py", line 19, in __init__
File "site-packages\calibre\library\caches.py", line 614, in row
File "site-packages\calibre\library\caches.py", line 611, in index
ValueError: None is not in list

I just tried removing all tags in bulk and that worked, but I still couldn't add tags in bulk to those books.

I think yours is the 4th thread opened on this issue (appeared in .45).

The problem has been found and a Fix committed for the next release (.46)

Sorry, I looked and found one that couldn't remove tags and that worked fine for me. Also I am on .42, not .45

I also found this one which is different too.
Error Message With Tags

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I added a new book to Calibre and after downloading the Metadata I tried to work with the tags. I got the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\dialogs\metadata_single.py", line 784, in edit_tags
TypeError: apply_tags() got an unexpected keyword argument 'allow_case_change'

I think that is because they all are a flavor of the same "change/create tags" bug

Yours may be different: What type of Tag (or column name, if a regular Tag field)

Your error wasn't the same as the others that's why I didn't respond. Bulk adding and removing of tags via the bulk metadata window works fine in 0.7.45.

Have you tried restarting your computer? If you have then you might consider updating to 0.7.45, or wait and update Friday to 0.7.46

I just tried rebooting and it didn't help. I still have 0.7.37 on my laptop and verified that it does work there using the same calibre library. Maybe I'll try the 0.7.45, but I usually stay a few versions back so someone else finds the bugs, but I guess that didn't work this time!

I hope the new version also fixes my new annoyance - have a frequently used custom tag column where after bulk editing sf to Sf I ended up with all my 2-letter tags grouped in the drop-box with lines in between them like this Ah|Fa|Mi|Sf rather than singly as works best.

Did you look for it as in issue in the Calibre bug tracker? And if not there raise it as a ticket? Because that is the most productive way to ensure such annoyances do indeed get fixed...

[ThePage]

Yes - just now.

The bug tracker can be very hard to go through - I've been given "what for" on adding a duplicate ticket (despite searching) - I didn't see anything - but being sure is difficult.
