Crash on adding several books to library

[grolm]

I am adding a lot of files from lib.rus.ec archive in fb2 format. I do not need so much files but they are named as 1.fb2, 2.fb2, 3.fb2... Thus I add all files to find what I need. I use calibredb as

calibredb add -r /path/to/files

The following exception occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/calibredb", line 16, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/library/cli.py", line 617, in main
    return command(args[2:], dbpath)
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/library/cli.py", line 356, in command_add
    do_add(get_db(dbpath, opts), args[1:], opts.one_book_per_directory, opts.recurse, opts.duplicates)
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/library/cli.py", line 293, in do_add
    dir_dups.extend(db.recursive_import(dir, single_book_per_directory=one_book_per_directory))
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1689, in recursive_import
    self.import_book_directory_multiple(dirpath[0], callback=callback)
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1662, in import_book_directory_multiple
    self.import_book(mi, formats)
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1441, in import_book
    self.set_metadata(id, mi)
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1085, in set_metadata
    self.set_series_index(id, mi.series_index, notify=False)
  File "/usr/lib/calibre/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1285, in set_series_index
    idx = float(idx)
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 1994 01

As a result not all files added to database. Ubuntu 9.10. Calibre 0.6.13+dfsg-0ubuntu3.1

I propose the following solution: to add appropriate try/catch to decrease severity of such errors like this produced by malformed/unexpected metadata value.

Fixed in branch trunk. The fix will be in the next release.

I have downloaded today version latest release available for linux 0.6.32 using

sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"

I still have the following crash:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/tmp/init.py", line 48, in <module>
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/cli.py", line 621, in main

  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/cli.py", line 297, in do_add
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1766, in recursive_import
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1739, in import_book_directory_multiple
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1516, in import_book
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/database2.py", line 1146, in set_metadata
  File "/home/kovid/build/calibre/src/calibre/library/database2.py", line 887, in set_cover

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PIL/ImageFile.py", line 192, in load
IOError: image file is truncated (22 bytes not processed)

It stops adding of remaining fb2 files to database and I even do not know in what file the problem is because there is a lot of files.

When I said the fix will be in the next release, I meant the *next* release.
