I ended up (Windows 7 x64) uninstalling Calibre 1.203.1 and blowing away the user directories (calibre and calibre_cache). After the reinstall everything worked okay again. As I commented then, I hit the patient in the head with an axe and it got better. Regards, David |

Well, I have changed the name of the preference used to store the jobs dialog's column layout, which will take care of the problem of any stored stale data.

Thanks. Was there a small hack I could do to get status and progress back without wiping all the other settings? ( I assume the stale data is in hiding somewhere in the config folder)

It is in gui.json, look for "jobs view column layout2"

I use AutoKey program for automating certain tasks.
One example is searching for author in Calibre in such a way that it doesn't matter whether I have firstname lastname or lastname, firstname. Program that is run when I press F2 in my AutoKey is: Code:
#### Beginning of the Script for F2 hotkey #### import re contents = clipboard.get_clipboard() # re.sub(pattern, repl, string, count=0, flags=0) output = re.sub(r'([^ ,]*),? (.*)', r'authors:"\1" and authors:"\2"', contents) keyboard.send_keys(output) #### End of the Script for F2 hotkey #### I find somewhere (Calibre itself, or Internet or any text) name of the author, I copy the name such as: Hugo, Victor to the clipboard, then I go to Calibre, position cursor to the Search bar and press F2. I get the following authors:"Hugo" and authors:"Victor" Well, I *used* to get that. In Beta when I use this script, I get authors.;hugo; and authors.;victor; In any other program where I can enter text this works OK. My system: Spoiler:
I can (and probably will) find a workaround by extending my script from four lines to eight ;-), but this behavior might indicate some problem. I used to have this tiny hack built into Calibre as modification to the "find similar books" function, and I have even tried to persuade you to put it into main trunk. |

keyboard handling is done entirely by Qt, no calibre code involved, not much I can do about it.

I did a few tests on the Qt5'd version the other day on Windows 7, under calibre 1.48 64-bit & calibre 1.205 portable, seems to work as advertised. The Qt5d version is released, so you can install via Prefs->Plug-ins->Get New. BR |

Wow, I missed this thread although I had noticed that I could not run from source since last weekend..., (well, I could because I kept my version old enough, not merged with the tracking master branch). Some message about Qt5whatever missing...

Nevertheless, with the transition, if this is going to automatically happen I suppose you should add a clear warning in the manual, release notes or wherever, about this issue. Or possibly a lot of noobs, like myself, are going to ask the same question. |

I'm using the portable beta on Windows 7, and when I open Preferences the window is tiny and can't be manually resized, I had to use the Maximize button to see all the preferences.
