Sure, we can try to figure something out. Are there different results 
available from imdb.es than from imdb.com?

It looks like the problem is caused by another edge case in the sorting in 
the column view. So if you click on a couple of different columns to change 
the sorting, and then try to export again, it might work.

In any case, thanks for the debug output. I can't reproduce the crash (and I 
don't think having your tc files would help) but I can see how to fix what 
it looks like.

These were the old directions:

You might need to run oowriter with the pipe support.

I think the citation insertion changed in openoffice 3, so if that's what 
you're using, it probably won't work. And I actually removed the ooo 
citation code for the latest versions since it didn't work and there wasn't 
any real use, as far as I could tell.

It looks like a crash in the webcam barcode reader. You're using a webcam 
for the search? Does the crash happen every time?

Hmm, I don't think so: the crash happens inside thread 1, which is not the 
barcode recognition thread.
Recompiling without --enable-webcam may clearify it.
Can you install the debug symbols for QtCore.so.4?

Oh, you're right, I didn't read all the way down to the other thread debug 
output. Something's going on in the error handling for the amazon 
search...thanks for pointing that out.

Re: tellico, ubuntu and citations in openoffice

Dear Robby,

too sad, I already tried that. Is there another option to cite more
comfortably than copying each and every line by hand? Maybe a way to
copy a bunch of infos like author, title, etc... into the clipboard.
Just the way it already works for bibtex, but with some more
information, meaning some relevant fields. So that one could easily
paste afterwards.

Any option like this would really help making tellico more comfortable
for authors. 

Ciao and thanks so far,
Frank

Sorry, there's nothing really that does that right now. The only other 
citation is for inserting bibtex references into something like lyx or kile.

There may be a way to finesse it by exporting to bibtex and then using that 
as the bibliographic reference in the ooo document. But I'm not sure. I 
don't use ooo much.

They are near the same... but some titles are translated into Spanish
but with different titles depending on the country, so when you're
searching titles, you can get different results. 

Some examples:

- "Casablanca" (http://www.imdb.com/find?s=tt&q=Casablanca) versus
"Casablanca" (http://www.imdb.es/find?s=tt&q=Casablanca)

- "Cape Fear" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101540/) versus "El cabo del
miedo" (http://www.imdb.es/title/tt0101540/)

- Searching "Cape + Fear" (http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=cape+fear)
versus searching "Cabo + Miedo" (http://www.imdb.es/find?s=all&q=cabo
+miedo) get's some different spanish titles:

	- "Cape Fear" - USA
	- "Cabo de miedo" - Argentina
	- "El cap de la por" - España (Catalonia)
	- "Cabo do Medo" - Brasil

	and so on ...

Eneko.

HOWEVER... This is happening immediately upon opening the search screen.

It pops up a little window (that I'm assuming is from the webcam input -
even though I don't have a web cam defined).   I don't even see a way to
disable it from even being used.
