Error when trying to add from current library

[pipester]

I have been trying to add my comics based on my currently library, but I keep running into this error.

2015-05-01 16:23:30 ERROR Uncaught exception: Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas?

It's a problem with the logger - it's trying to write the name of the series to the log file for logging purposes but can't covert it properly. C'est la bug

The easy solution (for the time being) is to move the files that contain a Latin capital A with circumflex (0xC2) into a different directory and try again. I'll do a bug fix up for it, but I'm not infront of a machine atm in order to do it.

Running into the same problem, on a massive collection I can't find the offending file.
Is there any way to increase the logging and return the decode unfriendly filename?

Was this ever addressed? I am trying to import a huge collection and only part of it is showing up on the Import Results page after running the comic library scanner. I've checked the directory and file permissions, and that's not the problem, so I think it must be this error preventing the other files from being imported. Here is the gui log output:

Code: Select all

It should be fixed on the development branch, but Unicode problems are always problematic.

All you can do is try the development branch and then see if you're getting errors still (or a different kind even).

Do you know of any way to bulk change all non-ascii characters in my filenames? That seems like it would solve the problem, but I can't figure out how to do it...
