Summary: can't open Kphotoalbum ("error reading next element"):
found duplicate attributes in <image> tags in
index.xml photos database
Product: kphotoalbum
Version: 4.7.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: XML backend
Assignee: kpab...@willden.org

Have being using Kphotoalbum since 4.6.x with the same database. Suddenly it
stopped working (with that database), just don't initialize and an error window
is displayed:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error while reading database file - KPhotoAlbum
An error was encountered on line 187, column 315:
Error reading next element
Additional error information:
Attribute redefined.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Found the problem is <image> tags have the attribute "Media_.20Type" duplicated
as in this example:
<image file="201512fromMint17.2/Aut_0006.jpg" label="Aut_0006"
startDate="1996-12-31T22:00:00" endDate="1996-12-31T22:00:00" angle="0"
md5sum="d6805cb540e63b579dac94b7e058414b" width="640" height="480" Folder="0"
Media_.20Type="0" Folder="117" Media_.20Type="2">
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use my wrong database (which have all the <image> tags with the attribute
"Media_.20Type" duplicated.
2. Try to open the program
Actual Results:
See the error. Being unable to use KPhotoAlbum, it automatically close with the
error (no usable database indeed)
Expected Results:
Use KPhotoAlbum normally, but as the database is unreadable by the xml parser,
might add some workaround:
1. A warning of the error in database found.
2. Options for the user:
a. to repair the error
b. to create a new database file
xml parser fails because there is invalid xml:
