# Chapter 15. Errors

- A file/dir with the same name already exists in this directory . Specify another file name which do not exists in the directory

- At least one VFS could not be read successfully . One of the VFS file on your scanned CD or directory was either unreadable or corrupted.

- At least one disk name was empty. A random name was used instead . You just have to find the random disk name in the catalog, edit it and give it the right name

- Can't create file. Permission denied, disk full or wrong path. . Self explanatory

- Can't open file. . The file does not exist or may be unreadable to you. In the latter case, check its permissions

- Can't save to config file . Check permissions of your home directory, the space left on your hard drive...

- Can't write file . Check permissions on the directory you want to write and for left space on your hard drive

- Could not find config file . GTKtalog creates a new config file when it is not present (eg : you moved the ~/.gtktalog directory). So this message indicates there is a space problem on device or a permission problem on your user home directory

- Empty string. No change . This happens when you enter an empty category string in the new category name window. Your category must have a non empty name.

- File does not exist or is not a standard file . This is not a GTKtalog file

- File is not a GTKtalog file (Too Small!). . Self explanatory

- File is not a GTKtalog file (v4 file format). . Make sure you open the right file in the right directory. If you are sure this is a catalog file, ask the authors for help

- File is not a GTKtalog file. . Make sure you open the right file in the right directory. If yu are sure this is a catalog file, ask the authors for help

- File seems to have been generated with a version older than 0.0.18 (at least) of GTKtalog. Formats are incompatibles. Send a mail to the authors to know what to do. . Self explanatory

- File seems to have been generated with a version older than 0.1.0 of GTKtalog. Formats are incompatible. Try `./configure --enable-catalog2' then recompile gtktalog. Or use the converter! . Prefer the last solution :). You can find the converter on GTKtalog web site.

- File seems to have been generated with a version older than 0.10.1 of GTKtalog. Formats are incompatibles. Try `./configure --enable-catalog3' then recompile gtktalog . Prefer updating to the new GTKtalog format !!

- Files inside Virtual File Systems cannot be displayed . You tried to view a file inside a VFS (by double clicking on it) but GTKtalog does not allow this.

- Name field is empty. Type a file name or cancel. . You must provide a non empty file name before proceeding.

- Please specify something to search. At least check that the file name match mode is not N/A! . In the search window you must specify at least one condition. This can be the file name match or anything else

- The disk has an invalid path. Report the bug to the authors. . Just do it !

- The file does not exist.Maybe it was removed or it is on a CD.In this case, load the CD, mount it and try again . Self explanatory

- The filename contains `%f'. This conflicts with the viewer definition. . A file containing the %f string cannot be opened with the viewer. Change its name and try again.

- Wrong category . Should not happen ... try to delete and create again the buggy category the report dislikes

- Wrong disk name . Should not happen ... try to delete and scan again the buggy disk the report dislikes

- You are trying to load a catalog saved in an old format .... . Read carefully all the message ... it gives the answer !

- You can only merge catalogs generated with gtktalog version >= 0.10.1 . Convert your catalogs to the latest version of GTKtalog
