Description Fran Rodriguez 2011-02-03 06:27:47 UTC

Version:           0.11.2 (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                MS Windows

Tried opening several epub books from different sources, and Okular always opens them as a single white page.

When I launch Okular from Windows' command prompt, okular's log files always return the following error: "faulty toc file ncx"

Reproducible: Always




I'm using Windows XP SP3. Okular was installed using the latest KDE-on-Windows installer (0.9.8-1)

Can you please provide a sample ocument showing the issue?
Which is the version of your epub library?

Sample ebook

Comment 3 Fran Rodriguez 2011-02-03 10:07:18 UTC

The ebook-tools library is at version 0.2.1. Okular's epub backend is at version 0.1. I attached one of the ebooks I used during testing (Huck Finn from Project Gutenberg, confirmed to work with FBReader) to the following message - hope it helps.

Comment 4 Pino Toscano 2011-02-03 13:54:43 UTC

Hm, it works here (Linux) with ebook-tools 0.2.1 and:
- okular 0.10.5 (kde 4.4.5)
- current okular trunk (future kde 4.7)

My guess is that it could be something Windows-specific; could you attach the whole debug output you get in a terminal?

Hm, confirmed this bug.
The question is: how do you know the ebook-tools version (not that it matters a
lot)?
I will try to investigate & I am pretty sure this is a bug in the ebook-tools
library on Windows.

Comment 7 Fran Rodriguez 2011-02-03 14:36:46 UTC

I found out the ebook-tools version using the "Package Maintainer" mode in the KDE installer. It has fairly detailed info on version numbers and stuff.

Comment 8 Pino Toscano 2011-02-03 15:08:11 UTC

This was a bug in the ebook-tools library.
It has been fixed in r141, which means in ebook-tools >= 0.2.2.

Thanks for the report.
