Could you please give a chm file that you can legally give and that shows the bug?

Comment 2 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2008-12-02 17:00:53 UTC
From: http://www.kchmviewer.net/

Dec 01, 2008   Version 4.0 released.

The major feature of this release is parsing binary table of contents and indexes, which speeds up loading CHM files up to five times. Two most annoying bugs were fixed as well. This release will only for Qt4 or KDE4.

Hi,

The chm file I have is about 10MB. If its OK for you I can send it in your mail.

Comment 4 Patrice Dumas 2008-12-03 10:42:26 UTC
You can try, but I think it is too big. 

As jpo mentionned, though, there is a new version, so maybe you can also wait for me to update kchmviewer (I am likely to do that in the coming days, and for sure in the week end).

Yes I guess so. I guess you can try any chm file you have.

Sure, no problem. As the package name suggests that it is still in beta.
What about this one? should I close this topic? I just reported this bug as suggested to me on fedora list.

Thanks

Don't close, but just wait a bit for the update, to see if it solves your issue.

You could also use:
split --bytes=5MB  original_file.chm split_file.chm

and send by mail 
split_file.chmaa
split_file.chmab

Hi,

I have sent you the file split into three part (rar format). Hope it helps. :-)

I got it, thanks. I can reproduce your issue, and it seems to be fine 
with 4.0, so I will do an update.

did you enable the updates-testing repo, with:
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kchmviewer

Comment 16 Deepak Shrestha 2008-12-09 04:19:07 UTC
> did you enable the updates-testing repo, with:

Yes. I tried removing the installed kchmviewer too and trying to reinstall with '--enablerepo=updates-testing' hoping new package will be installed but yum still comes up with old pacakage 'kchmviewer-4.0-0.4.beta3.fc10.1.i386'. Tried update after that (with updates-testing enabled) still "No Packages marked for Update". :-)

Comment 17 Patrice Dumas 2008-12-12 20:09:00 UTC
Strange, it is on
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/10/i386/kchmviewer-4.0-1.fc10.i386.rpm
with timestamp 04-Dec-2008.

Maybe you use a stale mirror?

now yum found the new package. probably it took some time to reflect the changes in repo.

installed the new kchmviewer package 'kchmviewer-4.0-1.fc10.i386' and its working fine.

Problem solved.
