Can't connect after importing a PDF

[bordaigorl]

Oh that looks like a bug, thanks for reporting!
Can you be more specific on what lead to this?
How did you upload the PDF into the root? Using the drag&drop? (It should totally work, if it doesn't it's a bug)
Can you find out the type of the skipped index[parent]?

I actually used right click -> import, on master before upgrading to devel (sorry, should have been more specific about that - master created the bad state, but both master and devel choke on it).

I'll get back to you on the type - I've already cleared the error out by deleting the file manually from the tablet's UI, I'll try to reproduce it.

Ah it could be a bug of master (will try to find time to merge devel, master is just obsolete at this point but I have to document the changes).
Yet I have no idea how index[parent].files can become None...

[alexvlockwood-bes]

I'm kicking myself for deleting the file now, because I can't replicate this at all anymore.

However, I do find that master locks up a lot for me (not just while file operations are happening, it just locks up hard) so it's possible that I killed it while it was in some incomplete state? I don't remember killing it at a time when it appeared to be "working" but could be wrong.

Welp. I guess if can't replicate the error state there's not much you can do here, other than maybe make loading less sensitive to individual objects with unexpected characteristics

[bordaigorl]

By "locks up" you mean it spins? Or crashes? Does devel also "lock up"?
Hopefully devel is better behaved 😅

Totally frozen UI and unresponsive to everything including a ctrl-C on the command line, have to kill -9

yes, I have not had that on devel :) devel is very well behaved
