- I started Calibre.
- I selected a book
- I opened the metadata editor.
- I removed a epub format book from calibre.
- I clicked OK.
- The Edit Meta Information window would not close until an external drive (that had gone to sleep) was spun up. This caused quite a delay in executing that update.
The external drive has nothing to do with Calibre, calibre's configuration, nor the calibre library. I wasn't connected to a folder on the drive. This drive is not needed in any way by Calibre. I have noticed this behavior at other times when I went to do something in calibre. I use the above example because that is the exact sequence of events that just happened.
Previously using calibre this never happened, but I really have no idea what the version was that I first noticed this behavior. If I had to guess I would put it post 0.7.
I can happily live with this situation. I was just curious if anyone knew why this might happen or if anyone else had noticed this phenomenon?

Does that EXTERNAL drive have Virtual memory, properly set to "No Paging file"?
