Many thanks for an absolutely well-thought-out and implemented program. However, I have a question re the portable version (0.8.7).

I would think that the portable version would NOT write to the registry. However, after installing I searched the registry for instances of 'Calibre' and found 27 key name matches, 23 value name matches, and 30 data name matches under Trolltech (HKCU Software). After deleting the registry entries and rerunning the program, the entries reappear. Should the portable version be writing anything to the registry, at all?

Is this a bug?

Once again, thanks for a great program. -- Ted Ciemier
