gramps AIO crashes when importing a gpkg
Locked
 
|
Hi,
A year ago I tried the gramps AIO on behalf of some relatives using Windows but had it crash on attempting to import a gpkg exported from Linux. I've now tried again with AIO64.3.3.1-1-exe on Windows 7 Professional but get the same result: on importing either a large or small family tree from a gpkg it crashes with the error message: "Error extracting into C:\User\dougb\<name of tree>.gpkg.media". However the media files appear to have been imported into C:\User\dougb and display OK. What's up?

Hello Doug! I don't recall the exact error message I had, but I do recall having an error message when trying to extract a gpkg about a year ago. The problem turned out to be a media file with a filename that was invalid under windows. Gramps didn't handle it well, IIRC. I think I figured it out by trying to extract the gpkg file with 7zip
(open source file extractor). 7zip prompted for a new file name. Have you tried making a backup without including media content and seeing if that will import under AIO? -- Jesse On Sun, Apr 8, 2012 at 8:13 AM, doug <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.

Hi Jesse,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try them out.

In reply to this post by Jesse Meyer
I once had a similar problem when moving gramps data from Ubuntu environment to Windows – some years ago. I had to edit some files to ensure that wherever a path was given to a directory, the backslash “\” was exchanged to slash “/” . Check also the path-setting handled by environment variables – I don’t know if the gpkg-import also sets some environment variables based on the origin location of your data. Hope this helps.

Thanks Eckhard and Jesse,
The fault does seem to be subfolders in gpkg.media. Doing a .gramps import creates no problems. It's not clear to me how to change the "/" Linux subdirectory pathnames to "\" Windows ones. Where do you do it, in Linux or Windows? And how?

I spoke too soon.
I've removed the media subfolders so that there were no backslashes to complicate the issue and grampsAIO still crashes with "Error extracting into C:\User\dougb\<name of tree>.gpkg.media". On checking I see gramps does create the gpkg.media folder with image files that display normally, but only less than half the original number. Comparing the files that *did* come down with those that didn't, I can't see any difference whatsoever in the nature of the filenames - both lists have spaces, commas, "&" characters, hyphens, mixed capitals and small letters, etc. Any suggestions?

Doug, Did you try to extract the gpkg file with 7zip, just to see if that crashes as well? -- Jesse On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 8:24 AM, doug <[hidden email]> wrote: I spoke too soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Better than sec?

In reply to this post by Doug
2012/4/11 doug <[hidden email]> I spoke too soon. Perhaps there is something strange in the gpkg zip, eg filenames in utf-8 you extract on another filesystem encoding. So, I suggest you open the gpkg with 7-zip or another fileroller, then extract the data like that. The gpkg contains a .gramps file, you can import that, and then point the media directory to the place you extract the media files. If the 7-zip gives an error on extracting, you know why gramps crashes. If you have an error on import of the .gramps, you know Gramps has a problem. Benny

I extracted the data from the gpkg with file-roller with no problems and was also able to import a .gramps file and the media separately; then point to the media directory. The path separators I was worried about actually cause no problem - it turned out to be a media file with a filename containing characters Windows coughs at but which are not a problem in Linux. It might be worth pointing this out as a potential problem for those of us wanting to pass on a tree to Windows-based relatives. For Windows 7 Professional the objectionable characters are apparently: \ / : * ? " < > ! Doug P.S.
