Hi,

Thanks for the new release and bug fixes, but i have a problem with 2.1

Compiled and installed 2.1 from source, opened my old database, after choosing any movie on the
list, Tellico got a crash, i can reproduce it everytime. Here's the full backtrace with gdb

Thanks. I can't reproduce it, but from the error, it looks like it may be
for a table field that doesn't have the number of columns set? The assert
may be failing, if you compiled in debug mode, that the assert causes a
crash, I think...

Can you edit that table field and add a columns property?

Or remove line 284 in tellico-2.1/src/translators/tellicoxmlexporter.cpp and
let me know if that works? Meanwhile, I can work around it, I guess. I'm
trying to decide if this is serious enough to warrant a quick release of
2.1.1.

Hmm, looks like a different crashing problem than what Mehmet reported.  
Those backtraces don't  have anything that points me to the problem, so if
you could compile with debug mode and let me know what that shows, I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks for the help and patience while I sort out these problems.

Hi,

Got it, built it.

It's forgotten how to sort, both author names (they're on first name)
and titles -- and clicking the title bar to try to get it do sort in
alphanumeric order crashes Tellico.

Minor annoyance, the damned thing forgets all that Amazon.com stuff --
can't that be stored somewhere that does not get overwritten?

--
A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

Removing line 284 or adding commit 1044121 as a patch are working well. Thanks for the quick fix

Can you please provide details? I tried to reproduce this from the
description you give and I can't get Tellico to crash and sorting works
fine.

Details like:
KDE version, Qt version, type of collection, type of field you're sorting
with, whether you have auto-formatting turned on, and anything else you can
think of that might be relevant.

Trust me, I don't write software to intentionally forget settings. Yours is
the first email that I've received that mentioned any problem with saving
Amazon settings. Would you please provide details...

Tellico 2.0 saved the amazon key using kwallet, which had the inconvenience
of needing to login to the wallet every time Tellico needed to do an amazon
search. So, for Tellico 2.1, I changed it to save in the normal config file,
except if it exists in the wallet, it will copy it over. It does check the
wallet if it doesn't find it in the config file.

Now, could you give me specific steps to reproduce whatever problem it is
you're seeing?

Thanks,
Robby

Just so I can figure out what is going on, can you send me the debug output
now, after commit 1044121? There's probably a line about fewer columns than
values...

Thanks,
Robby

Hello,
Here's a longer backtrace (Qt 4.5.3; KDE 4.3.2; Slackware):

The crash occurs when I try to sort a column in any of my old .tc files but I
can sort if I start a new collection.

What are the exact cmake compiler flags that I should be using to produce the
most useful data?

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug should do it. Thanks.

Hi,

As noted, Tellico 2.1 does not sort author names properly; i.e., the
list is displayed sorted on whatever appears in the Author field (first
initial last or last, first initial). Over the years, authors have been
entered manually and from internet searches so they can be both ways.

The Title column is displayed in what appears to be random order; i.e.,
the first author listed is A. M. Pettis the first title listed is /Night
Passage/, written by Robert B. Parker, followed by /Cromwellian
Settlement of Ireland, The/ written by John P. Prendergast. Neither of
those makes any sense whatsoever to me.

If I click the title bar of the book title column a couple of times,
Tellico crashes (seems to me that that used to be the way to change the
sort order).

Installed software and version

    kdebase-4.2.4-i486-1
    exempi-2.1.1-i486-1_SBo
    yaz-3.0.49-i486-1
    Qt-4

The distribution is Slackware 13.0 and all the system libraries are
up-to-date as far as I know. Tellico is built with a "Slackbuild" and
the build process completes with no errors or warnings.

If there's something I can turn on (or rebuild and install with
debugging turned on), let me know the command line to build with and
I'll be happy to do what I can.

Ah, ok, thanks for the explanation, I follow you now. Tellico 2.0 had broken
formatting, so I fixed that and failed to notice that the sorting no longer
worked. I'll get on that.

Right, that is how you change the sort order. I just can't reproduce the
crash, so it's tough for me to fix.

Can you generate a backtrace? You need to compille Tellico with -
DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug in the cmake line. Then run

gdb `which tellico`

After Tellico crashes, at the gdb prompt, type backtrace and email it. That
should tell me the file and line where the problem is.

Thanks!
Robby
