Calibre and iTunes

just_jeepin · 07-08-2010, 11:19 AM

Now that I've gotten an iPhone4 everytime I open Calibre and my phone is hooked up, itunes starts. Is there a way to stop itunes from opening when I open Calibre.

I only use epubs with my Sony PRS505, not my iPhone.

Thanks for any help!

Ahh, thank you... I didn't even realize that iTunes/iBooks was integrated (I need to start reading the changelogs!).

See the first post in this thread for more information about iTunes/iBooks integration.

Wow, this finally just happened to me. Nice to see this was long ago answered.

Is there any way to set Calibre to remember this as every time I upgrade Calibre it turns this plugin back on? It is getting annoying considering the frequency of Calibre updates.

By 'this' I assume you mean the status of the Apple device plugin? If so I am confused as to why you are having a problem as I disabled mine a while ago and it has stayed disabled despite the fact that I update Calibre most weeks.

What OS are you using (I am on Windows 7) - I wonder if that might be relevant?

Are you uninstalling the old version before you install a new one?

Valkrider · 03-23-2011, 06:45 AM

Hi, nope not uninstalling and I am on Windows 7 64bit. I have had to reset the plugin at least 3 times to off in the last 6-8 weeks.

Could it be something to do with having multiple libraries?

Still no answer about making this plugin status remember its settings on update? I have just downloaded and installed 0.81 over the top of 0.8 and it has re-enabled the plugin again. Frustrating to put it mildly.

I never have this problem with the plugin status not being remembered between releases. It makes me wonder if you have a permissions problem somewhere that is stopping this status being remembered?

However you could be right about multiple libraries I guess if the status is stored at that level (rather then the user level where I thought it was done). I guess this Kovid or someone who knows the code to weigh in with a definitive answer.

plugin status is stored globally. Open the calibre config directory and look at the file customize.py it is where plugin status is stored.

Valkrider · 05-20-2011, 02:09 AM

Checked as suggested and the file is there and the plugin status is stored in it but the file is dated 18th May when I updated Calibre and had to reset the status of the plugin. I have taken a copy of customize.py and will check it out when I upgrade to 0.8.2 (after it's released).

Just updated to 0.8.2 and it remembered the plugin setting. I didn't do anything different at my end. Great.
