Librarian slow to start up
Hi gang, long time answerer, first time asker
eBookwise librarian takes 2 minutes 15 seconds to start up. I've uninstalled/reinstalled, moved all ebooks out of the read bookshelf in case it's caching titles on start up and run a registry cleaner with out luck. Is yous this slow or am I in need of some help? Michael |

Does it still take that long to start if your library is moved elsewhere where it can't find your books?
The reason I ask, it scans for catagories on launch. I've since switched to using Calibre to store my books, and point the free tools Nick wrote to get them on the 1150. |

Do you have a huge amount of .imp's stored? If so, try what shighfield suggested, move out the bulk of your library to a different (temporary) location and try again! Last year, we (shighfield and I) were stumped trying to find where the Librarian program stored it's categories, only to find out that the Librarian program builds a list of all categories used 'on-the-fly' upon startup. I suspect, this may be the reason for your long startup time; (or a corrupt .imp ) Regards, Last edited by nrapallo; 07-18-2009 at 10:20 AM. Reason: typo |

That was a heck of a thing. I was so glad when we found out that it built the list on the fly as I thought I was going crazy not being able to find it.

I've only 25 or 30 imps where Librarian can find them and just two categories. I tried moving the files to a location it can't find without success.
I did wonder if it's arguing with my router for an IP address. That and imp files are labeled as being registered to Softbook publisher rather than eBookwise librarian. Double clicking a file opens the eBookwise librarian correctly so I'm not sure what's up with that. It's probably doing some sort of house keeping since it slows the PC to a crawl but I have not figured out what it's doing. Michael |

At some point, I installed the Softbook Publisher which is why it shows up in Explorer. I've never seen evidence of it working altho MS Word has a save as softbook option now. It's still slow with no imps and I'll give it a try with just one imp soon, it's now sleepy time for me, just got home from work. Thanks for your help, Michael |
