This is only a problem because I was tampering with the user data files (trying to rename the open with programs) - but documenting it in case similar issues come up.
Steps to replicate:
1. Add a new program to Calibre's Open With. Adding an icon to an existing entry doesn't produce this issue.
2. Exit Calibre.
3. Open windows_open_with.json in Notepad++. Make sure a garbled-looking icon_data entry is in the json. Immediately close the file without modifying or saving it.
4. Open Calibre again.
5. Right-click on the cover in the book info pane/window. It throws this error:

I was able to fix it by exiting Calibre, opening the file again in Notepad++, and carefully removing the corrupted icon_data from the json.
I've attached a json file with corrupted icon_data in Paint.NET.
Some of the other entries have icon_datas that aren't a garbled mess. Also, I noticed that adding an icon manually doesn't produce a garbled entry - adding the icon manually only allows image files, so may be related to it somehow getting the icon from the program binary? |
