Qt exception thrown from an event handler

Bandgeek · 03-25-2012, 02:27 PM

Last night I left Calibre importing a big collection of books. This morning Calibre was no longer running and when I try to start it up I get a Visual C++ runtime error. Unfortunately the error window is blank and doesn't tell me what the error is.

I deleted the last few dozen books that were added to the library thinking one of them might have hung it up, but that didn't help either.

I ran in debug mode and this is what I got.

C:\Users\Lenny>calibre-debug -g

Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Any ideas?

Post the metadata.db from your calibre library

Bandgeek · 03-25-2012, 09:09 PM

The DB is like 170MB, not sure if VBB will let me upload that.

I've been doing some digging, it looks like it malfunctions when it hits about 2GB of ram used by the main Calibre process. From what I'm reading this is the limit for a 32 bit program, unless there's a workaround I don't know about?

170M

Are all your comments sections, really long winded

I have 4000 books and Metadata.db is 12.5M

That will be the cause of the error. It sounds like you somehow have entire books stored in some database field. Thus, the memory error.

Bandgeek · 03-26-2012, 10:01 AM

Actually there are almost 200K books in the DB, so it's all DB information. (I know, ridiculous amount of books)

I did find a workaround to let a 32 bit application use over 2GB of RAM.

Once I ran the patch on the main calibre.exe file I was able to load the database.
