Bug ID: 508897
Summary: Open Library - Tellico malfunctions when multiple
editions have the same ISBN
Classification: Applications
Product: tellico
Version First 4.1.3
Reported In:
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Tellico does not work well when multiple editions of a book have the same ISBN.
Sometimes two editions can have the same ISBN.
For example, when there are alternative covers.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new book collection
2. In the "Open Library" Data Source options, enable "Updating from source
should overwrite user data" and "OpenLibrary Link" field.
2. Add entry from "Internet Search..."
3. Search "2-7316-3159-7"
Search type: ISBN
Search source: Open Library
4. Click on the first result, then on the second result.
First problem: both entries have the same cover, which is not the case on
OpenLibrary.
I think it's already fixed : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=507912
Second problem: one of the two entries does not have the "Authors" and
"Comment" fields, even though everything is filled in on OpenLibrary.
5. Add the entry that has the "OpenLibrary Link" :
"https://openlibrary.org/books/OL58893423M";
6. Right-click on the entry that has just been added => Update Entry => Open
Library
Third problem: Tellico updated the entry with information from another
edition. For example, we can see that the "Edition" and "OpenLibrary Link"
fields have been modified.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
OS: Linux Mint 22.1 (Xia) - Cinnamon
Tellico: 4.1.3
KDE Frameworks: 6.13.0
Qt: Using 6.9.0 and built against 6.9.0
KDE Flatpak runtime (Xcb)
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
Kernel: linux 6.14.0-28-generic
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When updating an entry from the “Open Library” source, perhaps it would be
better to reuse the "OpenLibrary Link" field (if populated) to update the
edition.
This would ensure that we update the information for the correct edition.
