Error with QuickPreferences Plugin

[essayhead]

Hi all!

I realize that there's a decent change I'm running into this issue because I'm operating on an older machine running Calibre 3.48 on macOS High Sierra 10.13.6, but I'm trying to fix a problem that I'm receiving from the extremely handy Quick Preferences plugin. I believe this error started when I updated the plugin to 1.7, but I've been living with it until now when I tried to add and/or change some of the formulas I had. The long and short of it is, every time I try to Customize the plugin (either directly through the plugin or through the Preferences panel), I receive the following error message:

Attribute Error:type object 'ItemFlag' has no attribute 'ItemisUserTristate'

A copy of the full log is below:

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin via the standard Calibre plugin window. When that didn't work, I tried downloading the .zip fie from GitHub and importing it in. Then I tried deleting the plugin within the Calibre configuration directory, and the customize.py script as well. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled Calibre all together.... still nothing, and I have to re-install and update all my old plugins and settings now haha. Before I get fully into fixing all of that back up again, I figured I'd check in here and see if anyone had any suggestions or tips on what to do next. Thank you!!

Hi, I have a portable instance of 3.48 I use only occasionally on win10, and just noticed it was giving the same error message with that plugin version (1.7). As I have some old backups of Calibre Config folder, I've tried installing version 1.6.1, and it gave a different message, but still errored.

So I'm attaching a backup of Quick Prefs 1.5, it seems to work fine - at least I was able to open the Customise dialog!

Thank you, that worked perfectly!
