Yes, it's added

Yeap, it's possible to do it. Last time I did a (wrong) test :-)

So now is time to think about which fields we want inside Comments and
we want in independant fields. For exmaple:
-Source language
-Translators
-CDU
-Format (size of book...)
-Cover type
-...

Do we want everything in independant fields? Leopold? Others?
All fields?

Spanish Ministry of Culture (new things)


Hello,

I send attached a "new version" and patch against SVN version.

I started to loose the track of my changes, I wrote as "SVN version" in
the code. Currently:

------------
SVN Version:    
        * Removes translators for Authors List
        * Adds translators field
        * Change from "Collection" to "Series"
        * Process "Series Number"
        * Adds in comments "ed.lit." authors
        * If there isn't connection to Spanish Ministry of Culture
          shows a nice error message (timeout: 7 seconds)
        * Removed "translated from/to" from Comments field as already
          exists in "Publishing" field
------------

Thanks,

--

Bug report checking found books


Hello,

If in Internet Search (and using Sanish Ministry of culture) I search
for book with ISBN 84-322-9686-4, book is found but Tellico shows a
dialog saying "No entries were found for the following ISBN values".

If you search this ISBN here:
http://www.mcu.es/comun/bases/isbn/ISBN.html

It's found, of course. And MCU reports:
ISBN (13): 978-84-322-9686-4
ISBN (10): 84-322-9686-4

If I search in Tellico for 84-3229686-4 (note that I removed a dash),
then book is found and Tellico doesn't complain that is not found.

I checked a bit in Tellico code and I think that the problem is in
src/fetchdialog.cpp , in line 356 loop:
------
for(QListViewItemIterator it(m_listView); it.current(); ++it)
------
Well, in that loop, in ISBNValidator::isbn(10), who is returning
84-3229686-4 and of course is not removing the value from values list
using values.remove(ISBNValidator::isbn10(i)); as should be.

I'm not familiar in that code, I don't know what is the best way to fix
it. Or why MCU is reporting this dash where Tellico is not supporting.

I have to leave now, sorry to not take a deeper look,

Error compiling SVN tellico

Hi there,

I'm trying to compile tellico SVN trunk on Fedora 7 and having
difficulties:

In file included from libcore_a.all_cpp.cpp:3:
dcopinterface.cpp:15:30: error: ../latin1literal.h: No such file or directory

Also, what is the current plan to port tellico to KDE4?  I ask because
I'm helping packaging tellico for Fedora and from Fedora 9 onwards, we
are moving to KDE4, and the current rawhide (soon-to-be Fedora 9)
drops the kdemultimedia package for KDE3, meaning that we had to drop
CDDB support from the tellico package.

The z39.50 interface is very dependent on the version of the yaz library 
that you're using as well as the standards compliance of the server itself. 
There have been some past reports about Tellico hanging on z39.50 searches 
and I'm pretty sure I've got all those ironed out. It's quite difficult to 
reproduce freezes, as well.

There's the DCOP interface, but it does require Tellico to be running at the 
time.

 dcop `dcop|grep tellico` tellico exportBibtex mybib.bib

There's no way to do it automatically at the moment, probably something 
worth adding. Generically, it might be akin to spreadsheet functions, I 
suppose.

Re: french amazon: only 5 entries at a time

I tried with 1.2.14 and current 1.3 branch and both give me more than 5 
results using the ISBN values you listed. Is there an error message that 
shows up when you try it that might give me a better clue what is going on 
for you?

There's nothing specific about Amazon France that would limit the results.
