Changes in this release:

Run the ISBN extraction out of process to get around the memory leak issues

This release requires Calibre 0.8.2

I have decided to keep both methods of scanning (threaded job versus worker job) optionally available in the plugin. There is now a configurable threshold at which it will switch between them. By default this threshold is set to one selected book. So if you select just one book, the scan will run as a threaded job as per the changes I made for 1.3. This is the fastest way to get an ISBN, but will continue to suffer from the known memory leak issue if you scan hundreds of certain book formats over a long period of keeping Calibre open.

If you select more than one book, then the scan runs as a worker job, just like book conversions do. This would be a little slower for just a single book but faster overall if you select higher numbers of books at once. This method will not suffer from the memory leak issue.

You can adjust the threshold on the plugin configuration screen as per the screenshot.

EDIT: I left some debug code in the plugin which a couple of you had downloaded before I caught it - if you were one of the first two downloaders please just download it again.
