Freezes - calibre doesn't do anything else anymore.
Task manager shows that it's not running.

I have tried and waited up to five minutes or more with a single book selected, three or four books selected and 10-15 books selected.
No difference, the program was just not working.

Ok, did the library consistency check. No errors, comparison database with books showed some missing formats, used the fix option for that.

Tried the remove format again and it seems to work now.

What confuses me a bit is that the task manager still shows the program as "not responding" although it now finishes the job (removing formats except .. ) - and a lot faster than before.

Thanks anyway.
