When you do a title search and click on a book with invalid isbn it gives you the option to "keep" the book but change the number, but when I click "keep" it gives an error: Couldn't add the book: undefined method `[]=' for nil:NilClass It would be great if we could choose to keep the book and change the isbn as we want to!

Date: 2009-03-04 23:36 Sender: Cathal Mc Ginley Tested in 0.6.4b1, it is possible to keep books with their invalid ISBNs. However it does not yet distinguish between empty, malformed (wrong length, for example) and invalid ISBNs. Also, a simple case would not complain if there was no ISBN and the publication date was before 1970 (when ISBN was standardized).
Date: 2007-09-23 06:52 Sender: Cathal Mc Ginley I have confirmed this behaviour as a regression. Alexandria 0.6.1 allowed books with no ISBN or invalid ISBN, the current SVN release does not. This is currently a high-priority issue, and I will work towards a useful general-purpose solution (such that invalid numbers are not listed as ISBN, for example).
