Re: Crash

Robby Stephenson — 2013-04-27T16:43:23

Thanks for your crash report. I believe it is likely fixed in recent 
versions of Tellico. Since you're using 2.3.4, I would suggest upgrading 
if possible.

Re: CSV Output file has issues

Robby Stephenson — 2013-03-28T03:58:30

Indeed. From poking at it, it looks like I accidentally dropped one of 
the escapeText() calls in the CSV exporter while fixing a different bug 
a while back. You're the first to notice...


The intent is to follow RFC 4180 which allows to all fields being quoted 
but doesn't require it. Tellico's intent is to quote the value if it 
contains the delimiter, and as you say, replace existing quotation marks 
with doubled quotes.

I haven't done rigorous testing against RFC 4180, though, so there may 
be edge cases that Tellico might fail. If you hit one, let me know.

I noted this as bug 317473, so I can track it. Just fixed it in git, 
ready for the next release sometime. Thanks for letting me know.

CSV Output file has issues

Matthew Soffen (tellico — 2013-03-27T19:25:35

Afternoon All,

I'm currently trying to import an exported copy of my Book Collection (all
1800+ books) for use on my Cell Phone.

When I tried to import the exported CSV file it choked.

I noticed then that nothing is quoted.

For example, This is one title/etc. for the book:
Daughter of the Blood (Black Jewels, Book 1)

Guess what happens ?  The title gets split on the , in  the Series/# part.

Can we add " around all text fields in the DB ?

This would change the output line from :
Daughter of the Blood (Black Jewels, Book 1),,Bishop,
Anne,,Paperback,,,Roc
Trade,,,2007,0-451-46148-7,,384,,English,,,,,,,,,,,e472d59ead49407192d5b75df7bebb17.jpeg,Seven
hundred years ago, a Black Widow witch saw an ancient prophecy come to
life in her web of dreams and visions. Now the Dark Kingdom readies itself
for the arrival of its Queen, a Witch who will wield more power than even
the High Lord of Hell himself. But she is still young, still open to
influence-and corruption. <br/><br/> Whoever controls the Queen controls

Are you loading a .tc file with images included when you have the 
problem saving? If you're not, then I'm not sure why your patch fixes 
the problem, since the fileRef() is then deleted in the TellicoImporter 
d'tor. But if you are loading a .tc file with images included, see if 
the attached patch works for you. It essentially does the same thing as 
your patch, without messing with too much.

Unfortunately, no, Tellico can not handle more than one type of 
collection per file. I just didn't write it that way. I know that makes 
it hard for books and comics (BDs), so I apologize. C'est pas possible...


The database file can certainly be on a network, but multi-user support 
isn't possible. You'd just have to make sure that no one overwrites it.

Have a common base ? : books, BD, movies == problem of search(research) on the Internet (example by amazone)

Philippe le vaillant — 2013-03-20T07:43:15

Hello

First of all one thank you for your development j ' has it to try others
but that this is really practical and intuitive

I shall like I can manage in the same file or base(basis) (I already make
him(it) at present between book(pound) and BD) books(pounds) and movies,
but for the search engine for example about rider does not allow to do it.
There is certainly a selection criterion? Upstream....
Can use me?
Thank you

The fact of being able to choose its fields to add to modify them it is
really great thank you again

 there also the possibility in putting the application in network?

gérer dans la même base livres , BD et films

Philippe le vaillant — 2013-03-17T12:54:19

Bonjour

tout d'abord un grand merci pour votre développement
j' en ai essayer d'autres
mais celui ci est vraiment pratique et intuitif

j'aimerai pouvoir gérer dans le même fichier ou base      (je le fais
actuellement déjà entre livre et BD)
les livres et les films, mais pour le moteur de recherche par exemple sur
amazone
ne permet pas de le faire.
Il y a sûrement un critère  de sélection   ?  en amont....
pouvez vous m'aider ?
merci

le fait de pouvoir choisir ses champs en ajouter les modifier c'est
vraiment super
merci encore

je permet encore y a t-il aussi la possibilité de mettre l'application en
réseau ?

Re: Tellico under windows

Robby Stephenson — 2013-03-12T05:30:28

I'm impressed you got as far as you did, Andrea. I don't have any ideas 
about the problem with saving the file. Tellico uses the KDE libraries 
for reading and writing files, and I would think they would allow for 
Windows usage. Perhaps, I'm using them incorrectly in Tellico somehow. 
As Jens pointed out, it may be an issue with the open/read flags that 
I'm using, I guess. Unfortunately, since I don't have a Windows machine 
to develop on, I can't test anything.

Re: Comicvine

Robby Stephenson — 2013-03-12T05:28:02

I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the pointer!

One challenge is that my simple comic book collection Tellico (which is 
very flat) doesn't mat well to real comic book metadata, which deals 
with different series, issues, reboots, etc.

Re: Buy from Amazon.com Link: Wrong Browser Version

Robby Stephenson — 2013-03-12T05:25:54

This comes up occasionally from a non-KDE workspace. Tellico uses the 
KDE settings, and you check if somehow the default browser configuration 
for KDE got changed somehow. Use this command:
kreadconfig  --group General --key BrowserApplication

If you want to clear it:
kwriteconfig --group General --key BrowserApplication ''

Or set it:
kwriteconfig --group General --key BrowserApplication '/usr/bin/firefox'

See if that helps...

Just a wild guess but I think the reason is a strange Windows behaviour: A
open file cannot (by default) be saved (or deleted, ...). This is also true
for other programs, e.g. LaTeX cannot update a PDF file as long as it is
opened. The solution should be closing the file handle in Tellico first or
to use different flags for opening the file.

The patch is probably trivial but has to be done in the source ...

Comicvine

Andrea Randazzo — 2013-03-11T22:14:11

Hi! I am interested in using Tellico also for my comic colelction. 
However, the available sources are not useful for my comics.
I found the follwing site
http://www.comicvine.com/
that has a good database of comics from different countries.
They provide a set of APIs to access the database (http request with xml 
response). The documentation can be found at http://api.comicvine.com/
Is it possible to integrate it into tellico?
Cheers.

Tellico under windows

Andrea Randazzo — 2013-03-11T22:09:05

Hi, I managed to compile (quite straightforwardly) Tellico under windows 
by using mingw and the kde-windows platform. Just a couple of optional 
modules are not available. Almost all is working fine. Tellico runs, 
create a new collection, import books from online sources, save it to file.
However, if I close the program, reopen it, reload a previosly saved 
collection and modify it, tellico is not able to save the file to disk. 
If I use the save as option by using a different filename, the file is 
correctly saved.
Any hint on where the problem could be?
Thanks!

Buy from Amazon.com Link: Wrong Browser Version

Thomas Ronayne — 2013-03-11T13:49:28

When I click on any "Buy from Amazon.com" link I get

    KDEInit could not launch '/usr/lib64/firefox-18.0/firefox

Of course it can't, I'm at Firefox 19.0.2.

My window manger is Xfce4, not KDE, can't find anything anywhere that's 
causing this.

When the heck do I change that to /usr/bin/firefox?

Thanks

Re: abgeschnittene Seite beim Drucken

Robby Stephenson — 2013-03-08T17:03:41

KHTML (which Tellico uses for layout and printing) does has some bugs 
with big tables. There was another Tellico bug filed about printing 
reports, which I isolated as a test case and filed as konqueror bug
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303278

As it is, the best workaround I can offer is to export to HTML instead, 
and print from Firefox or Chrome.
